Sally Blyth

Sally is an Auckland-based artist who enjoys creating and exhibiting a diverse range of works and has won several awards. She was thrilled to be a double finalist in the 2011 WOW World of Wearable Arts Awards in Wellington, with two garments in the show, and is currently working on her entries for the 2012 show.


Sally incorporates a wide variety of media into her work. Texture and iridescence are important elements and by adding subtle touches and embellishments, she encourages you to look beyond your first glance.


Inspired by countries, cultures and eras of time, she is constantly devising innovative ways to evoke a sense of a particular place and time. Alongside painting, Sally creates unique masquerade masks, made to order to match outfits and themes for special occasions. She also creates “Artique” mask-artworks for display, drawing on traditional Venetian techniques.


Sally has learnt her techniques largely through her own observation, research and experimentation. She actively networks with fellow artists, and spent time in France under the guidance of an abstract artist, an experience which enabled her to develop her own abstract style, which is constantly evolving.
Working from her home-based studio, Sally is forever experimenting with new styles and techniques, always on the lookout for fresh ideas and inspiration, and enjoys travelling far and wide to find them.
