Sally Russell
Raised along the rugged beauty of the Monterey Peninsula, Sally Russell’s childhood was immersed in the vibrant energy of California’s coast. With a bohemian lineage, creativity flowed naturally through her.
Her great-great uncle helped found Carmel-by-the-Sea, a sanctuary for artists that continues to inspire her work today.
“We grew up surrounded by the ocean’s whispers and the ancient landscapes that shape the Monterey Peninsula.
My work is an extension of this environment—a blend of the wild, the natural, and the playful.
The nature, the light, and the colors of this place live in my soul and flow through my hands.”
Her artistic expression spans abstract, sculptural paintings, ceramic totems, mixed media sculptures, and functional tableware.
Each work is an exploration of form, texture, and color, evoking a dynamic relationship between the viewer and the piece. Her hand-built ceramic totems and mixed media sculptures carry the spirit of vitality and energy, inviting viewers to interact and engage from every angle.
Sally’s signature style merges organic textures with bold, playful design. Whether in her sculptures or paintings, her work is infused with a sense of pure joy and adventure. Her tableware blends functionality with artistry, turning everyday moments into something magical.
Through each piece, Sally Russell celebrates originality and creativity, turning art into something simple, functional, and magical—awakening the imagination and touching the soul through the interplay of color, texture, and form.
