Sally Russell

Regularity and conformity abound in our society today. Rare is the occasion that we succumb to the irregular and unpredictable, to the whimsical and unique. Sally Russell seeks to capture the essence of the abstract in our world and to play with the relationships between shapes, patterns, color and texture. Sally is a Monterey Peninsula native and lives in Carmel Valley with her husband and Great Dane. In addition to her sculpture and painting, she also has a line of functional dinnerware that reflects her playful spirit and sensibility. She derives inspiration from real life and occurring themes in nature as well as such artists as Viola Frey, Nicki de St. Phalle, Joan Brown and David Hockney.
