SALLY GLANVILLE, "Japanese Rooster", gouache, # 36




Sally Glanville is an exhibiting artist whose works on paper and prints have been shown at various galleries in Ontario including The David Blackwood Gallery at Erindale College, The Art Gallery of Hamilton, Gairloch Gallery, St. Catherines Gallery of Art, The National Gallery for Women in the Arts, Washington DC, and the Ohio State University.



Various bodies of work spanning the past 20 years have often reflected impressions and insights gained through extensive travel, such as the series entitled “Women in Black” based upon tribal women seen in southern Morocco.



Sally most recent series takes as its subject large scale masonry walls some of which are loose stone and have openings revealing the scene beyond, such as the moss and lichen covered walls in the west of Ireland.



Glanville’s favourite medium is gouache which she uses both transparently and opaquely, sometimes thickly impastoed.
