Drawn mostly to weathered, discarded media found in or around nature (wood, rust, parts of things, tools, stains), Sally spends her creative efforts mostly on surreptitious retrieval of said objects from their lonely resting places and then transforming the pieces unpredictably and relocating them to a different environment, sometimes quietly back into nature for the unexpected enjoyment of an off road adventurer, sometimes smack onto the foyer walls of five star ski lodges in Telluride.
