This floral figurative artwork is signed by the artist on the front of the artwork. The sides are a continuation of the painting and it does not require framing. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

The focus of Sally’s portraits is contemporary women. Her style merges characteristics of abstract expressionism with realism and portrait painting to convey, not just the beauty of women, but their confidence and strength as well. They are women that are alluring, flirtatious, and demure, with a femininity that Sally imbues with what she describes as the “sensuality, independence, and confidence you see in strong women. ” Sally’s portraits of women are intensely personal. “The woman I paint are an extension of me, of what I feel, how I process my surroundings, my thoughts, my angers, my pleasures. They’re the confident strong women that I strive to be. Sometimes tough and daring, sometimes shy and reserved, but always self-assured and determined; they represent what captivates me in other woman; the qualities I admire, and strengths that I strive to gain. ” See less
