Combining her knowledge of design and her talents as an illustrator, Sally creates beautifully detailed images depicting nature in a traditional manner with a contemporary feel.  Using watercolor and pencil, and through her delicate blending of rich color, intricate patterns and distinctive borders, Sally’s designs reveal art and nature are one.  While her inspiration comes from nature and natural objects, her look is current and trend driven.

 Sally’s interest in art began as a child growing up in Indiana.  After completing her BFA in painting from Miami University in Ohio, Sally gained commercial experience as an illustrator and creative director in design and corporate marketing in Indianapolis.  After having two children, and wanting to go out on her own, she created the licensing and marketing division of her own business, Painted Pears.
