SALLY LEIGH ART
Welcome to my site!
I'm Sally, an Ilfracombe-based artist passionate about producing unique and exciting paintings. Do take a look at my paintings, blog, and please get in touch!
ME!
I'm a freelance artist, writer and theatre producer. Having lived in several countries, I've collated much stimulus for my paintings: from the Isle of Man to the Medoc; from the hills of Andalucia to the hills of Malvern, Worcestershire and, of course, beautiful Devon.
After a successful career in the Theatre industry, I've only recently picked up a paintbrush again after being put off Art by an uninspiring Art teacher at the age of 14 (hence my adaption of Bernard Shaw's character Mr. Allen's daft maxim, “He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches” is: "He who can, teaches; he who cannot, shouldn't go near kids!") Following a significant life event, a friend recommended painting to me as a form of catharsis: what a life-changing suggestion this turned out to be!
The work is sometimes using acrylics, sometimes oils and also inks; there are a few pieces which use mixed-media.
In addition to what you see on this website, commissions are welcome and some of the original paintings are available to buy (price on request).
You can also find me on Facebook: Sally Leigh Art, where some of my photography can be viewed.
Whatever your purpose, I hope that you will enjoy browsing through and following my unique and evolving Art.
MY WORK
Contact me to buy exclusive prints of any of the below. Some originals are still available
My ethos?
I create paintings with a unique, captivating style.
Break the rules: mix sea water with your paint if you're painting the sea, sour red vinegar
with the red streaks of "blood" in work such as 'Croatian Bay, Immediately Post-War', black
coffee for that particular colour brown you're trying to find at 4am to embellish
a final dusk effect.
And more...
Your commission is next.
Drop me an email!
