Sally's life’s purpose is to inspire others to create in order that they can experience the joy of creating. Sally spends a great deal of time traveling to instruct various workshops around the province, including the Alberta Teachers Conference. In her classes students are challenged to find their own innate capacity to create. Her teaching style is one that inspires and evokes joy through the process of creativity.
Her journey to become an artist began at Grant MacEwan University where she studied Fibre Arts and Visual Communications. Upon graduating, she landed a job as a window dresser and display specialist at the downtown Hudson's Bay store in Edmonton. It wasn't until she moved to Red Deer and had her two children that she found her true calling. A friend introduced her to the Lettering Arts Guild of Red Deer where she studied calligraphy, painting and book making.
Sally’s desire to become an artist, has been dramatically influenced by her father's 17 year affliction with Alzheimer's disease. She talks about this in her self published book “The Circle Club”~ a journey of hope and healing.
