Sally Rush concentrates on detail, and delights in depicting smaller African wildlife.  So life-like are her feather paintings that viewers often try to pick the feather off the base.  But in fact the feathers are watercolour paintings of the monoprints Sally creates of the original feather onto wood veneers.  Sally studied fine art at The Johannesburg Art Collage and got her diploma in 1980, whilst concurrently working as a furniture designer. She took up art seriously when she moved to The Crags on the beautiful Cape Garden Route 2001.  "Living in paradise away from the city is very conducive to living out my dream as an artist".
