Sally works from her studios in Oxford and Guernsey. She paints in oils on linen and occasionally uses gilding in her work. Her interest is mainly figurative and portraiture, but also likes to paint the manmade world. Her work is loose, rough, yet realistic, and rooted in traditional atelier methods but with a contemporary palette.

 

She works from life and occasionally uses photographs for historical pieces. Materials are important in her practice and she uses course-weave linen, Michael Harding oil paints and 24ct gold leaf.

​​

Sally trained as a portrait painter at London Fine Art Studios for a number of years before completing a full-time two-year Diploma in Portaiture at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in Chelsea, London. Upon graduation in 2019 she was awarded the Heatherley Portrait Prize by Daphne Todd OBE.

 

She has since had a number of solo exhibitions with galleries and completed high-profile commissions for institutions, galleries and private individuals. She has participated in group exhibitions such as with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, ING Discerning Eye, Green & Stone and the Society of Women’s Artists.   

 

In 2024 Sally was selected to be part of the Vogue Gallery in the print edition of British Vogue's May, June and July editions, which was followed by the same invitation for Tatler.

 

Sally also has a Diplima in Picture Restoration and Conservation. She has two young boys with her husband, Max Wong who is undertaking legal research in music copyright at the University of Oxford.
