About

Sally Green, a lifelong artist based in Australia, channels the vibrant landscapes of her surroundings into emotionally expressive abstract paintings. 

Material to Meaning

Sally Green is an Australian abstract textured artist based near Byron Bay on Bundjalung country. Her artistic path spans a rich lineage of creative disciplines - from her early career as an airbrush artist to twenty years spent blowing glass - culminating in her current full-time practice as a painter. Driven by an innate necessity to create that began the moment she first held a paintbrush, Sally produces emotionally expressive works that capture the raw vitality and rich colour palette of the Australian landscape.

Working primarily on canvas and wood, Sally’s process is intuitive and deeply aligned with nature. Her compositions evolve spontaneously straight from source and are highly textural and although abstract in design, viewers may interpret aerial landscapes. She creates using a rich tapestry of mediums including acrylics, inks, found objects, and raw materials gathered from the land around her - such as local sand, rocks, and handmade pigments from Bundjalung country.

For Sally, art is a profound process of inner transformation - a sacred practice from which she emerges into a higher state of being. Highly personal and tactile, her heavily textured abstract creations offer viewers an authentic, visceral connection to the natural world and the spirit of place.

"It's about letting go so my art becomes a playground of colours, shapes and emotions."

Creative Process

Creative Process

For Sally art is cathartic. A form of transmutation of emotions into form. Time is completely lost as she enters a kind of meditative state as she releases parts of her psyche in this alchemical process.

For her creating art is a process of inner transformation, and somehow she emerges from painting into a higher state of being. So Sally's art is very personal and it has been necessary for her to create since she was able to hold a paintbrush.
