Sally Bookman Sally was born in London, England, where she studied oil painting at the prestigious St. Martins School of Art. Later, when she emigrated to the United States, she had additional art training at Orange Coast College in Southern California. At that time, she became equally interested in the field of cultural anthropology. Eventually she switched majors and transferred to the University of California at Berkeley where she finally received a Doctorate Degree in Anthropology. After marriage, and a couple of years doing sociological research in the Midwest, Sally and her husband moved back to California where they started a family and got involved in the booming real estate business. Once she had established a successful career in real estate, she looked for new challenges to occupy whatever free time she could spare. It was then that her interest in painting was renewed. Rather than continue with oil painting, however, she decided to explore the medium of watercolor. She took college art classes, and participated in workshops with well-known national watercolor artists. She immediately loved the vibrancy and richness of watercolor, and the endless variety of effects which can be created with it. Of all the comments about her paintings, the most frequent is that her paintings are alive with a brilliance of energy and color and that they make people smile. Sally feels it is an unexpected pleasure to have come full circle in her life and to be doing what she loves most. She is a signature member of the Society of Western Artists, an honor of notable achievement and great personal satisfaction. Her work may be seen at the Capitola Fine Arts Gallery in Capitola, California, and is represented by several national print publishers for distribution in the form of prints, notecards and calendars.
