As a resident of the Durham Region for over 45 years, and also having lived in downtown Uxbridge for two years, Sally became familiar with happenings there, and in past years exhibited as a guest artist in the Uxbridge Studio Tour on many occasions.
The images in her work are influenced by her rural roots, coming from The Lake District in northern England, where she helped on a neighbouring farm as a child.
"The Uxbridge area, with its rolling hills and farmland resembles where I spent my young years, and still inspires me to continue with my work".
