Sally has served as an acting board member since November 2023, contributing to various community events. She is now the Treasurer.
Currently, Sally teaches Art at Noyo High School, where she has worked for five years. She cherishes the opportunity to engage with her students, collaborating alongside them and witnessing the transformative power of art.

As a self-taught artist and painter, Sally began her creative journey in 2003 while living in Missoula, Montana. Her professional background has always centered around community art. She started teaching at Walnut Creek Civic Arts in 2005 and has worked with various communities, from Missoula to Guanajuato, Mexico.

Sally has also led workshops in Burlington, Vermont, Hot Springs, Montana, and Martinez, California. She has a particular interest in connecting with homeschoolers and underrepresented youth.

Always interested in art and creative expression, Sally enjoys hobbies such as bone dowsing and building small forts.

She appreciates the interactions with fellow Flockworks members and the sense of connection within the community.

Flockworks was the first organization she sought out when she arrived on the coast in 2019, and as a Martinez/Concord Delta native, she felt at home among like-minded individuals.

A fun fact is Sally has a unique talent, being able to whistle in 11 different ways and skip a rock an impressive 22 times.
