Sally K

Sally K attended college in Beirut, where she graduated with
a BA in Fine Arts with distinction from the Lebanese American University of
Beirut. In 2013, she moved back to the United States and settled in California.

The focus of Sally K's portraits is contemporary women. Her
style merges characteristics of abstract expressionism with realism and portrait painting to convey not just the beauty of women, but their confidence
and strength. They are women that are alluring, flirtatious, and demure, with a
femininity that Sally imbues with what she describes as the “sensuality,
independence, and confidence you see in strong women."

Sally K's portraits of women are intensely personal. “The
women I paint are an extension of me, of what I feel, how I process my
surroundings, my thoughts, my angers, my pleasures. They're the confident
strong women that I strive to be. Sometimes tough and daring, sometimes shy and
reserved, but always self-assured and determined; they represent what captivates
me in other woman; the qualities I admire, and strengths that I strive to
gain."

Sally K draws inspiration from photography, pop culture and
fashion as well as artists ranging from Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock
to Gustav Klimt. Her highly regarded paintings have been collected by notable
celebrities such as Jesse McCartney and Kelly Clarkson. Her paintings have also
been featured in group and solo shows in Beirut, Dubai, Italy, and the USA.
