SALLY LANCASTER
Sally Lancaster was born in Spokane, Washington and attended Washington State University where she received a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art. She has taught jewelry making, paper making, and art classes. She has participated in group shows and displayed in galleries along the West coast. Sally’s work is focused on mixed media, a culmination of all of the types of materials she has worked with – acrylic painting, colored pencils, papermaking, printmaking, and fabric.
The mixed media pieces I create focus on working with form, texture and space. By layering and using different materials, I strive to create that feeling of balance and harmony as in nature – the smooth and the textured, the bold and the soft working together.
My compositions develop spontaneously – they plan and develop themselves. Generally, I don’t have an exact theme or preconceived notion in mind since it is an organic process for me. I love to experiment and let the ideas flow as I begin to work with the materials until a painting emerges. My work suggests, allowing the viewer to use their imagination.
