About Sally’s residency
Sally shared a studio with landscape artist Elizabeth Tyler. Elizabeth writes about Sally’s work during the Cholderton residency, and how she tries not to buy all her work…
SALLY NEWTON
ARTIST
Sally Newton’s work speaks to ancestral connections to land, using simplified marks and a reduced colour palette. Born in East Anglia in 1982, she studied B.A. (Hons) in Fine Art (Printmaking) at Cambridge School of Art and has been working professionally from her studio in Hampshire since 2019.
Sally is passionate about working en plein air and from life, so is often found amongst the landscape working directly. She is Artist in Residence at a nearby mixed organic farm on the Wiltshire and Hampshire border, where she finds inspiration in the life that inhabits the farm and the ancient landscape which surrounds it. Since working there, she has sought marks that convey the experience of inhabiting the landscape. Looking for dynamic and visually expressive ways of communicating, her paintings work to capture the stillness of a place too.
Sally has exhibited in London, Bath and Hampshire and her work is held in international private collections. She was awarded the John Busby Seabird Drawing Bursary by the Society of Wildlife Artists, leading to a week of studying amongst seabird colonies in Scotland. She has also collaborated with the luxury knitwear designer Navy Grey to create bespoke work for them.
