SALLY MACCABE - JEWELLERY, PAINTINGS, CERAMICS
Sally is a mixed media artist
whose work ranges from textured paintings, to collaged hangings, assemblages
and book structures.
Her use of subtle blues neutral colours that dominate her work is influenced by living directly above the bay in St Ives. Favourite sources of design are clustered mussel shells; abstract grids; vintage nostalgia and Venice buildings – but many paintings are an intuitive exploration of colour and texture where the outcome is unknown and exciting! Most of her work involves applied papers and a variety of textures which create a rich and interesting surface and an important part of much of her work is the inclusion of fragments of personal letters and various texts and old books, from which many of the paintings’ titles are taken.
Sally also produces a range of semi-precious stone jewellery (a necessary therapy for the days that she cannot paint but needs to create).
In 2005 Sally opened her Studio Gallery in St Ives where visitors are welcome to visit and view her current work and explore her eclectic workspace.
