SALLY PAINTER
http://www.sallypainterart.com
Growing up on a farm and
co-owning a nursery for most
of her life, Sally Painter has
always been surrounded by the
beauty of the natural world. It’s
not surprising that she turned
to nature for inspiration when
she took up painting and has
since become a painter of bold
botanicals. The fascinating
shapes, delicate textures and
vibrant colors of flowers and
other plants and trees are her
favorite subjects.
Painter says she strives to
paint something more than
simply a realistic depiction
of these subjects. She notes,
“I interpret the subject with
brush in hand, allowing my
imagination to select colors and
forms.” Like one of her artistic
heroes, Georgia O’Keeffe,
Painter invites viewers to enter
into her subjects, to experience
them and to have a visceral
reaction to them. Above all,
her oil paintings allow people
to see as she sees, what she
describes as “God’s amazing
way of creating each so
uniquely and beautifully.”
Rapidly gaining national
recognition, in 2016 Painter has
participated in the Oil Painters
of America Juried Salon Show;
the 26th annual All FloridaJuried Arts Show; and the Art of
the Heartland juried exhibition,
among others. Painter and her
husband currently divide their
time between their homes in
Florida and Wyoming.TERRY ARROYO

Originally from Caracas,
Venezuela, Terry Arroyo
Mulrooney has lived in
Miami since early childhood.
Her family has an extensivehistory in fine arts, both in
Latin America and in the
United States. She is mostly
self-taught with the goal
of exclusively mastering
transparent watercolor. She has
gained widespread recognition
and received multiple awards
for her paintings in solo
and group exhibits and at
professional galleries. Her
traditional yet unique style has
become recognizable, with her
works being selected for local
festival posters, published in
magazines, and displayed in
private and public collections
worldwide.
Though South Florida is her
favorite theme, Mulrooney’s
subjects are varied. She
specializes in paintings of her
patron’s favorite people, pets,
events or places. “My art is a
collaboration of my vision that
touches the heart of the viewer,”
says Mulrooney. “Transparent
watercolors entice an emotional
connection with my audience.
The content of these paintings
transform into a conduit
of color, design, light and
shadow. They are in my own
realistic style, communicating
luminosity and richness. It was
precisely this affinity for these
qualities that led me to choose
transparent watercolor.”1
