In these times of a worldwide pandemic, global warming plus war in some parts of the world I think it is refreshing to escape to the beauty of our natural countryside and appreciate the wildlife it supports. As humans we need to have a focus on preserving our planet and not just using its resources until nothing remains. Thus the focus of my art is:- Our beautiful planet Earth and it’s native creatures.” Says Sally
Sally is enjoying the versatility of the acrylic paint medium by combining it with mixed media including texture paste, gold leaf and glitter. Sally’s artworks are inspired by nature particularly Native Australian animals.
Greeting Card Packs are now available featuring seven different Australian Wildlife Artworks. The cards, envelopes and packaging are all Designed and Made In Australia from recycled environmentally friendly materials.
It’s a belief of mine that we should live every moment of our lives with fun, laughter, and joy. Some would say live life with passion!

Jacarandas, not Australian natives, flower in October in Brisbane Australia where I live, and they are absolutely beautiful creating huge umbrellas of soft purply blue and dropping blooms to the ground below creating a gorgeous carpet of colour. Before they finish flowering, I plan on wearing my new Jacaranda coloured Cycling jersey and laying down amidst the carpet of blooms to get a photo. (Watch this space as the joyful but crazy photo is coming.) Awesome!! Yay!!
Having learned that I should be using the words Fine Art Reproductions instead of Prints I have spent a great deal of time this week going through my whole website making required changes.
Can’t wait to get back to my easel to splash a bit of colourful paint around and stencil a bit of exciting texture. I want my wildlife creatures to growl at you out of my paintings.
The print arrived in perfect condition! I can't wait to get it framed and to put it up on the wall to enjoy it daily. :)
Thankyou so much again.

We absolutely love our print of Rainbows In Gum Blossom. The colour and texture of the original painting show so clearly. Looking forward to hanging it in our home.

Rocky and Lilly Dog Portrait commission in pastel
My husband loved it! It blew his socks off! He can usually guess what I will get him for his birthday but this year I bowled him over. So thankyou once again Sally. To say everyone loved it is an understatement.

Precious Dog portrait commission in pastel.
I was extremely pleased with our finished portrait of Precious. Sally was great to work with and interpreted our photo of Precious just as she is. Sally captured her personality and the features that make her so dear to us.
Joanne Cotton of Brisbane Australia
Clemmie Dog portrait commission in pastel.
The portrait was a huge success. Everyone loved it and all thought it was Clemmie to a tee. My sister was just overcome when she was given the portrait as it was her dog almost alive again. She is hanging the portrait in pride of place next to the door which Clemmie always used. I will be having Sally draw my own collies for my birthday next year.

Breeze Dog portrait in pastel awarded at the Australian Dog Agility Association Grand Prix 2008
Sally has managed to capture my dogs true character and personality and that extra special sheltie 'aloofness' that the breed has... the expression that is portrayed in his eyes is remarkable. I will now have a true and lifelike reminder of mu friend and companion for all eternity.

Shai Dog pet portrait commission in pastel.
I was so impressed by the pics you sent me on email. I never imagined it could get better! The detail is quite amazing - fur, eye, mouth and brindle markings are perfect. Shai had a gentle nature and a beautiful soul and to see that come through in your work is more than I could have hoped for. Every time I look at her portrait I smile. And I know it will bring a smile to everyone who knew her for years to come. Your work is beautiful and it must be a great feeling to bring so much joy to animal lovers!
