Sally West

Sally West is a contemporary Australian artist whose work is widely coveted. Her application of the paint is incredibly thick which creates an interesting textural surface. She works with a muted palette and bold application of the paint which often spills over the edge of the canvas. 

A winner of several art prizes and a regular finalist in many others including the Portia Geach Art Prize (SH Ervin Gallery), New South Wales Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize, Paddington Art Prize (2016), KAAF Prize (2016), EMSLA (2016), Salon Des Refuses (Wynne) Prize, Charlatan Ink Art Prize (Manhattan NYC), and the Pacific Palms Art Prize (winner 3 years), Gosford Art Prize, Mosman Art Prize (2019), Hornsby Art Prize and many more.
