Sally originally studied 3D Design specialising in jewellery in Birmingham. However she subsequently made her career as a conservator of paintings in a national museum, eventually returning to jewellery design in 2000.

Since then Sally's designs have developed more towards sculptural objects and this year she has begun to make work on a much larger scale.

Her inspiration is a combination of influences of architectural and engineering structures, the theories of Constructionist art and the exploration of metal behaviour. Sally has worked in precious and non precious metals including gold and silver and more recently, mild steel and bronze.
