Studied under Kathi Smith, PIAI, and Vicki Tomayko, PAAM School. Sally grew up in Central Maine and lived in Laguna Beach, CA, before moving to Provincetown where, after 20 years as a graphic artist, she found the art form that most appeals to her: "White line printmaking originated in Provincetown in 1915 and often called the Provincetown Print, involves the slow, deliberate process of cutting wood to create a line, then gradually applying paint to board and paper to produce a print - brought me back to the roots of the creative process. I also like the connection I feel to Provincetown's past artists through working on a technique that began here." Sally is our neighbor at Lookout Bay, Provincetown, with her spouse, Conny Hatch, whose work we also collect. We asked Sally to produce this print after seeing a predecessor, and she graciously agreed. We bought the piece at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery in Provincetown, which features her work. This is Print #6 off the block, and Print 1 of 1.
