          | Sally Phillips has been working with Pastels on  Fine Art paper  for three decades. Her love of the medium began with  photography.  The soft edges that can be achieved with pastels  are reminiscent of a soft focus on the lens  of a camera.  No  other medium can duplicate the  transparent  look of pastels. 
 As  a designer she  began using the camera to capture the moment and used those moments to create her  pastels.  Sally's early work were from the streets of Venice, California.  Her work was shown and purchased by the Robert Berman  Gallery in Venice before she left to live on Kauai.
 
 On  the island her focus shifted  to the incredible, pristine skies above and the ocean surrounding  the  land.  The colors on the island were undeniably  brilliant and the medium of pastel   could lift you right into the  skies where the clouds played out a constant drama  from sunrise to sunset.
 
 After moving back to  the West Coast, Sally Phillips  began teaching her very personal technique at the San Diego Art Institute. The California  coast has provided  a  wealth of vibrant images of 
ocean, coast and sky.
 
 All of Sally's work presented  on this web site may be produced as a Gicleé. The inks have a 200 year life and are printed on acid free fine art paper up to 30"x44".
