“Nonobjective painting allows free expression of emotions, feelings and individuality.  My work is about a creative process rather than a specific image or place.  Following intuitive promptings I apply a vigorous gestural linear mark or brush stroke that comes from deep within.  The surface is built, destroyed and erased again and again creating a subtle and sensitive history to what has been.  This play continues until from chaos a painting evolves.”

Sally Cooper has been painting all her life and began actively pursuing her creative talents in the late eighties.  In 1990 she was awarded an annual Art Award from Broward Community College.  In the mid nineties she moved from detailed representational work and began to seek the abstract.  By 2000 image reference was left behind and her style evolved into explosions of color, markings and movement.  Her work has been included in numerous regional and national competitive exhibitions receiving awards in most.
