Sally Howells

I came from a creative family, my late father was a commercial artist, Grandmother was milliner and taught fashion design, I was encouraged by my father who allowed me to use his studio at home.
Primarily I trained and worked as a visual merchandiser for John Lewis, I worked up to designing window & instore displays. I went from there to be a retail design consultant in Asia where Adidas head hunted me to work exclusively for them in the Asia Pacific Region. On returning to the UK I studied Ceramics and Visual Arts at Bath College, I worked on organic sculptures and was encouraged to paint by by tutors.
I started making jewellery and tiaras when I had a baby, selling to boutiques and at events. I was involved in thee Cotswold Hare Trail where my painted 6' hare was chosen to be sited in Stow on the Wold. We moved up to the Highlands where I really began to paint intensively. I exhibit in the East Sutherland Art Society Summer Show and several local galleries show my work.
