Sally Lewis is a realist oil painter who occasionally ventures into abstract/experimental images.  When working in oil or watercolor, she prefers a palette of vibrant colors and loves “to create images that come to life and tempt the viewer to reach out…touch,…taste,…smell,…”  Recent work has focused on still life, floral,  and bird images that are done in oil, watercolor, and graphite.  Her artwork has also included painted eggs (Ukranian pysanky) and decorative angel and nativity woodcrafts..

 

A retired mathematics educator, she has been painting since 1963.  She studied with the late San Antonio artist Mack Stewart, Houston-area artist Shalle Cozac-Haviv, and area artists Karen McCauley and Joyce Bendele.  Her oil painting “Symbols of the Dance” was spotlighted in the Presbyterians Today magazine in 2007 and has been featured at national and Texas church conferences.
