Sal is a painter working primarily with oils and wood. She lives on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish people, splitting her time between what is commonly known as Hornby Island and Salt Spring Island.
 
Sal has been an artist since the beginning. Observing the world around her and creating artwork as a process of reflection is something that has always felt natural. After some time away from art—during which she pursued two degrees in history and a degree in education—Sal has come back to painting. Colour, mood, and depth are key aspects of her work and combine to draw the viewer into the intimate moment between person and place reflected in each painting.
