Sally Adams Shelby Township, Michigan

Artist Sally Adams produces ethereal scenes with intimate simplicity and clarity of expression. She takes to heart advice given by her childhood mentor that less is more. “I only paint the core components necessary to convey an emotional connection,” says Sally. She recalls creativity being her innate and lifelong passion. Her favorite Christmas present was a set of oil paints with brushes that she still uses to this day. Sally consciously intends to extract beauty from everyday life by recreating fragments of feeling into her compositions. The sights, sounds, and fragrances of nature endlessly inspire and give her stimuli. “Pickledog”, her home studio in Michigan is an ode to her beloved furry companion of 15 years. Oftentimes, she shares the workroom with her daughter, a skilled artist as well, such as her mother.

    Artist Statement

    Hi, my name is Sally Adams, I am an artist working in Shelby Township, Michigan, and Sarasota, Florida. I have loved art and creating it for as long as I can remember. My favorite Christmas gift was a set of oil paints when I was 15…I still have the metal case and use some of the original brushes! After raising three beautiful daughters, a six year diversion into ceramic clay work, and a day job as a graphic artist, I'm now back to painting! My studio namesake and companion of 15 years, Pickledog, passed on in November 2021, but I know his lively spirit is never far from me as I go about my days. I will remember him getting me up and going every morning reminding me that a good breakfast and a daily walk with Mother Nature are essential for raising endorphins and clearing the mind to create. We found inspiration and stimulation in the sights, sounds, and fragrances on these adventures! I continue to take my camera everywhere as my paintings are directly or indirectly influenced by the pictures I take. I’m grateful everyday that I am able to spend my time doing what I love. I'm fortunate also, to have a network of supportive friends and a wonderful family. With all that said, I hope you find something here that moves you in a way that it originally moved me to create, or simply - you love it so much you can’t live without it!

    I get compliments on this piece all the time and how the color palette used matches my decor. It is a lovely piece and it was hard to pick from the artist’s wonderful work. For me, it reminds me of when I look up from my car while heading into work…the peaceful view of birds on the wire bring in the day.
