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!
