Artist Comments
Artist Sally Adams depicts a red cardinal perching on a thin branch. She paints the bird with refined detail and realism. "Its appearance offers some consolation or may just be another vibrant display of nature's beauty in contrast," says Sally. The lightly textured forest green background brings its scarlet red plumage into immediate focus.

About the Artist
Artist Sally Adams produces ethereal scenes with intimate simplicity and clarity of expression. She takes to heart advice given by her childhood mentor that less is more. “I only paint the core components necessary to convey an emotional connection,” says Sally. She recalls creativity being her innate and lifelong passion. Her favorite Christmas present was a set of oil paints with brushes that she still uses to this day. Sally consciously intends to extract beauty from everyday life by recreating fragments of feeling into her compositions. The sights, sounds, and fragrances of nature endlessly inspire and give her stimuli. “Pickledog”, her home studio in Michigan is an ode to her beloved furry companion of 15 years. Oftentimes, she shares the workroom with her daughter, a skilled artist as well, such as her mother.
