Sally Yost

My sketchbooks define who I am as an artist.....always in the field.  I prefer painting with pastels, oils, or gouache on a colored ground....the brighter the better.  My studio is behind my house in Taylorsville and is open by appointment (530.284.6649).  Images, open studio days, a list of exhibitions and plein air classes are listed on my website:www.sallyyost.com
 
I have studied at the University of Wisconsin, Cambridge Adult School at Harvard, California College of Arts & Crafts, Chico State University, Feather River College, Tuscarora Pottery/Art School, and numerous workshops.

I work quickly.  I have come to realize that there is no "right way" to do a piece.  Get the picture going, and at some point it will take on a life of its own.  Every time I think I'm hitting my stride, I turn into the excited beginner, fascinated with the materials at hand.  I paint throughout the western U.S. and Bequia, an island in the Eastern Caribbean.
