Artist Sally Sloan uses anything within arm’s reach to make her art. Textures, patterns, applied papers and plenty of color produce paintings that are appealing at first glance and then encourage the viewer to step closer to make new discoveries.

Sally is interested in putting together diverse materials and adapting their    uses to the problems at hand, producing a fresh approach that is uniquely hers and resulting in a painting that is accessible and pleasing to the eye. Engaging the viewer in the process is important. She believes that art should constantly reveal something new each time it is examined, making the work timeless and

constantly intriguing.
