Artist Profile - Sally Sarneski
Biography
Sally was born and grew up in Wolverhampton. Her childhood interest in painting was kindled by her grandfather who would spend time showing her how to draw. Sally lived in London during the seventies and moved to Ross-on-Wye in the early eighties. These earlier years were spent working in industry full time. During this period she was attended various art classes and workshops. Sally then moved to the Forest of Dean in 2001 and gave up full time employment to become a carer for her father. This enabled her to use a portion of her time to devote entirely to painting and in 2003 she enrolled on the Portfolio Course at Herefordshire College of Art & Design.
Artist Statement
I’m inspired by the countryside and what is around me. I like using different techniques and subjective colours to create images. I get totally immersed in the activity of painting and my aim is to try to produce happy and uplifting work. I feel in many ways that I am starting on a path which is as much about the pleasure and activity of painting as it is about actually producing a picture..
