Sally O'Grady

It is never too late to nurture the artist in you.

Sally loves painting! She loves the sensation of pushing, dabbing, smearing, and brushing paint on the canvas. "I feel so alive when I paint - it makes me smile!" Since retirement in 2016, she has painted full time (as full as it can be amongst family time, opening an art gallery, and … well, all the things that are part of life!). Sally paints mostly in acrylics, exploring the depth of emotion that can be captured within a scene. Though she has spent considerable time studying on her own, she has had the honour of learning from and painting with some wonderfully gifted artists.

Sally worked full time in the Geomatics and Science Information Management discipline from 1991 to 2016. She had the opportunity to travel nationally and internationally to participate in fascinating geomatics projects. Sally had the privilege of working at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site from 1994 until her retirement in 2016. Early in her career she worked for the Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS). Later, with Kejimkujik, she continued to work with COGS students on projects related to these national protected areas.

ARTSPLACE’s vision is to share stimulating work and strengthen artistic life in our region. Creating environments for art and arts practitioners to thrive is key to our work, as is supporting audiences in their growth, awareness, and excitement about art. 

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
