ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY

The one word that best sums up Sally Smith is style.

Style is a current that resonates through every facet of Sally's life.
This style is one of attention to the finest details. It enchants you with the splendour of the intimate and at the same time immerses you in clouds of symmetrical beauty.

To visit Sally's home is to experience the creative spirit of her life which seeks quality in all things and a depth to all experience.
This is, perhaps, no surprise as Sally Smith entered the world with the enviable spirit of romantic beginnings that brings art to life and life to art; being born providentially outside the gates of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire England.
From these beginnings her life proceeded to be punctuated with endless creative endeavours.

Raised in picturesque Burford she soon married and proceeded as a young women to renovate & restore heritage cottages, an enterprise which proved to be the beginnings of her and her partner's landscape design business.

Many years later, with a spirit of adventure, Sally and her partner migrated with their two children to Australia. In between child-raising and home-making Sally, soon after arriving, commenced the Study of Art & Design at Perth Technical College, majoring in Studio Ceramics.

She furthered these studies in the early nineties at Edith Cowan University with the study of fine art, majoring this time in Textiles & Design.

Whilst continuing these pursuits, raising another child and opening her own floristry business, Sally began to explore her creative potential further and discovered a great love for painting.
Her ascension within this particularly elite world was remarkably rapid. Within three years of painting Sally has exhibited and sold works through numerous galleries within Western Australia and the United Kingdom.

Sally works in multi-media, a form that draws profoundly on her diverse artistic skills, and symbolizes the relationality that she considers to be the ordering principle of all life.
