The opportunity to refocus her creative talents in the visual arts has been an exciting endeavor, particularly while learning, exploring, and developing an emotional connection with her subjects.

Initially, Sally's work was dedicated to the human figure, but recently her work has extended to include animal studies where she captures the essence, as well as the charming aspects of animal life. It has been her lifelong dream to experience the joy by which creating and expressing a personal interpretation of a piece of art can bring. That joy is conveyed through her work. Her sculptures have been exhibited in a number of group shows in New Mexico.

When not in her studio, Sally serves as an art consultant for the Signature Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
