Sally is a native Oregonian.  She has lived in Eugene most of her life, availing herself of the many opportunities that are offered in the arts – classes, lectures, workshops, and seminars – to hone her abilities.  After experimenting with a number of artistic endeavors such as oil painting, wood carving, copper tooling, as well as most areas of needlework, she came back to her first love: fabrics and color. She experienced much pleasure constructing traditional quilts and is now designing and creating wonderfully complex art quilts.  Inspiration comes to her from several sources: the abundance of colors, forms and textures of nature; evocative fabrics; and from her personal thoughts and experiences.
