ABOUT THE ARTIST

has been a community activist and artist in Brooklyn and Queens since departing a career as an epidemiologist a decade ago. Born in New Orleans to a family that started a giant annual parade, in the past four years she has made eight NYC art parades—almost all on Governors Island with a focus on its native species.

She has co-organized and co-directed many community organizations. Her art has been shown at Mizuma and Kips, Tomato Mouse, Stephen Street, LMCC, Flux Factory, Art Crawl Harlem, 7 Belvidere, Bullet Space, Woodbine, Shaker Museum, Spring/Break, 14C, DuYe Moves and more.

Healing color and detailed paintings predominate Sally's art. But it's increasingly focused on parades with ethereal music, weeks of free workshops and ecological discussion groups. All materials are upcycled from discards. Solar charged batteries run the lights, amplifiers and projectors.

Presented as part of THIRD Saturdays, the Governors Island Arts initiative celebrating the program. THIRD Saturdays programming occurs every third Saturday of the month from May through October and features special indoor and outdoor programs, which are always free and open to the public.
