NEW TO BLUETHUMB - Sally Walsh (aka Sillier Than Sally) creates dynamic painterly acrylic & water colour art. Art that stops people in their tracks, that is also loose, vibrant & colourful. Sally’s love of our natural world shines through in her art themes, where botanicals, birds & animals seem to come to life in her paintings. Sallys art adorns walls from nursery’s to lounge rooms to corporate offices and hotels, she exhibits her art around Australia and internationally, has fun going large and painting large scale murals, teaches adults & kids art classes, paints live at weddings & events, illustrates children’s books and novel covers, and licenses her art as surface pattern designs to a variety of product companies.
Sally’s “always draw outside the lines” mentality, allows her to breathe a unique life & vitality into her creations, one that draws the viewer in and is smile inducing.
Sally lives in Sydney, where she lives with her hubby, two cheeky little boys and little puppy Patches.
