This retrospective exhibition highlights the prolific and influential career of Kauai artist, Sally French. Her studio practice encompasses mixed media works including; painting, printmaking and photography, with themes derived from childhood memories, gender, and politics. She relies on spontaneity and sardonic wit to imbue her work with fantasy characters that project good and bad behavior. This exhibit gives us a humorous look within, and opens the door to playful imagination.
