HER WORK: Sally Evans (Sali) is a watercolorist who cannot be stereotyped. She refuses to fall into a groove from which emerges a series of paintings like one another in so many respects that they are immediately identifiable as her work. Nevertheless, her own personality and touch subtly emerge in each of her florals which run from delicate suggestions of the essence of the flowers through realistic representations to bold and colorful abstractions. The same can be said of her still lifes, forest interiors, landscapes, seascapes, and harborscapes.

Many of her paintings are of objects or places found only in remote recesses of her mind and evoke pleasant memories but without recognition because the places are imaginary. The viewer is tempted to say, "I think I have been there, or I've seen that---but where?"

ART CAREER:During her career as a watercolorist, Sally's paintings have been accepted, and have won awards, in a number of prestigious juried art shows.

Her works have been displayed in the Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center, New York, N.Y.; the Heckscher Museum, Huntington, N.Y.; the CBS Headquarters Building, New York, N.Y.; the American Institute of Architects Building, Washington, D.C.; and in many libraries and banks.
 

Her watercolors have been shown in Le Nid Gallery, Northport, N.Y.;

Brooksville, FL.; Gallery 44, Moultrie Creek Gallery, 39 Cordova St.,
all in St.Augustine, FL; Crescent Beach Gallery, Crescent Beach, FL; and at Marineland, FL.

In addition, her paintings are held in private collections in

York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and elsewhere.
