Originally from South London Sally moved to East Anglia in the 1980's, completing her degree at Anglia Polytechnic and postgraduate studies at Cambridge University. It was at the latter that she discovered printmaking, resulting in  a continual investigation into all aspects of the medium ''It is such a cerebral process, it forces me to make decisions and to consolidate ideas, whilst at the same time always being open to experimentation''  

A chance meeting with the American artist Dan Welden introduced her to the creative possibilities of solarplate, a plate mostly used for intaglio and still a relatively new medium in the UK.

On moving to Norwich Sally worked on a series of prints and paintings based on the city, exploring the shapes, pattern and light of the urban environment. This series extended to a parallel series of City Squares that use painted and printed Japanese paper to provide colour and texture, and a series of Urban City paintings that combine texture with screen printed glazes.

Since 2008 Sally has been working away from editioned prints, enjoying the freedom of both monoprinting and collage, providing an opportunity for experimentation with techniques and colours. The Landscape prints are all unique. A background layer is created by printing with colour or blind embossing. At the same time Japanese papers are hand painted and printed. The two are brought together as a unique collage
