Testimonials

Footscray Primary School Mural

"Sally spent so much time and energy making our Edwardian Student Toilets feel like you have walked into a real-life picture story book about
friendship, love, inclusion and happiness ... Thank you for bringing us a
little of your magic, Sally."


The Royal Women’s Hospital

“The Royal Women’s Prevention of Family Violence Project Team engaged Sally to deliver a linoprinting workshop for a staff
wellbeing day. From initial contact Sally was very easy to work with, responsive to emails and flexible to our requirements. On the day of the workshop Sally was on time and everything was very organised. 

Sally was engaging and given the size of our group was able to assist individual staff members with their questions. We also loved the self-paced nature of the workshop whereby it didn’t matter if you were a little slower cutting out your lino, you didn’t hold up other team members who had finished their cutting and were ready to start pressing. 

Everyone had a great day; learnt a lot and we were all able to take home our lino printing tools and an individual art piece to frame. We’d welcome Sally back anytime for another workshop and would highly recommend her for team building and wellbeing style workshops.”

    "Currently there are limited opportunities for visual artists to showcase their artwork in the inner west.  We need events like pop up galleries in disused buildings, regular small art gatherings, invitations to participate in themed and diverse art exhibitions. I created the Show Your WEST-SIDE exhibition to give a voice to local visual artists – budding and professionals, including children."
