ABOUT THE ARTIST:
 
Sally McDevitt’s passion for art was evident at an early age, yet throughout her life her painting was merely a hobby.
She often gave her paintings to friends and family members as gifts, but did not attempt to become known to the public
until she retired from the business world and offered paintings to be shown at Weems in January 2002. McDevitt is an overnight success.

Working in oils and acrylics, McDevitt captures the New Mexico landscape in a realistic style. Her window-sized paintings bring the
outdoors in, and wispy clouds in bold blue skies virtually drift across the canvas. Inspired by the region’s enchanting natural light,
McDevitt’s tranquil landscapes of boulders, arroyos and prickly pear blossoms are rendered dramatic by their stoic presence.
