Sally Trace

Sally Trace is an American abstract painter based in PA, USA. She was born in northern New Jersey in the mid 1950s. During those post-war years, her mother took a correspondence course in art history while Sally was a preschooler. Those magnificent color plates burned a powerful impression in the young mind, and she began a life-long fascination with modernism.

Predominantly known for her geometric paintings, she also creates intuitive, organic paintings that evolve both from fluid paintings, and also through tactile, textured works that are built in layers.

Sally is no longer able to travel to exhibitions due to health concerns. She loves to stay in her private studio and paint in the most free manner. She offers her finished paintings for sale to an international audience, here on Saatchi Art.

Sally studied fine art at Bucks County Community College in Pennsylvania, earning her degree in 1989. Sally had multiple health challenges and found a way to continued her education by auditing classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA, through 2010. Sally is a cancer survivor who has mobility issues, and chooses to stay in her studio to create her unique artworks unburdened by the constraints of exhibitions and shows.
