Sally Willbanks studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Fine Art.
Her present work is an exploration of her own visual language that is comprised of emotionally charged mark making and raw energetic brush strokes. Sally's abstract expressionist language is both a response to the external stimuli of music, and the internal musings of introspection. She is interested in the tension created by juxtaposing different energies of line with more subtly-painted areas of quiet.
