Sally Moore was born in Barry, South Wales in 1962. She trained at the Ruskin School of Fine Art , Oxford and Birmingham College of Art. When she won a prestigious Delfina residency she moved to London where she still lives and works.
She has received numerous awards including The Discerning Eye Critic’s award, Welsh Artist of the Year and the Abbey Scholarship at the British School in Rome.
She has exhibited at the Martin Tinney Gallery for thirty years until his retirement in 2023 having staged eleven solo exhibitions and taken part in many group shows.
In 2019, “Acting Up’,a book about her work, written by Peter Wakelin was published by Samson and Company.
Each of her paintings is a mini psychological drama, often absurd, sometimes surreal and invariable humorous. Sally herself speaks of her hope that her paintings both unsettle and amuse.
