Sally worked for 13 years in NHS art therapy posts within the fields of mental health and learning disabilities. In 2007 she became self-employed as a registered Art Therapist in private practice and a Community Artist.

She enjoyed going back to her early experience of being a community artist and started designing and facilitating workshops that enable participants of all ages and abilities to explore their creativity and develop the confidence to try new skills. Being self-employed has allowed her more time to develop my own art work in paint, mixed-media and mosaic.

Sally's family relocated from Pembrokeshire to the Scottish Highlands in 2010 and are currently living in Dingwall.
