Artist Comments
Three black crows rest on a winter tree, content in each other's company. A crescent moon hangs in the teal night sky, and an ethereal glow suffuses throughout. Artist Sally Adams says of this peaceful scene, "While watching crows congregate and listening to them, it makes one wonder what important news they are delivering to one another."

About the Artist
Sally Adams recalls the moment she became a painter at the age of four; her love for art is innate and lifelong. Her intention is to extract beauty from everyday life. The advice of an art teacher, “less is more,” is one of Sally’s guiding principles. Her artwork brims with intimate simplicity and childlike joy. She enjoys simplifying and sweetening compositions from nature, such as trees and birds, painting only the core components necessary to convey an emotional connection. Sally has three grown daughters who are all active artists, and they work together whenever possible. “I taught them the joy of creating art when they were young,” says Sally, “and they taught me to do what I love for a living, by their own example, in adulthood.”
