Welcome to the website of the artist Sally Bassett! There are many examples of Sally's acrylic paintings for sale on the site, as well as work in collage, silk dye and mixed media. If you click on any of the pictures, you will get the full story.

Much of Sally's work features flower painting, landscapes and seascapes, capturing vibrant colour, energy and movement. Her customers are truly international, and her paintings are to be found in homes and boardrooms in many parts of the world.

Sally's corner of the world is a small village in the Hertfordshire countryside, although she also has a base in Cornwall, where she paints wild seas, calm mornings, boats and fishermen – she is deeply absorbed in all aspects of the coast, and can't stay land-locked for long.

Sally is a full-time, professional artist, and most of the work on this site is for sale. If you would like to talk to Sally about buying or commissioning art work, her number is 01442 851353, or e-mail Sally at sally@sallybassett.co.uk.

Bright New Beech Leaves, Shadows and Bluebells

Acrylic on Canvas. 24 by 24 ins.

I live in the pretty village of Aldbury in the Chilterns. Above the village is Ashridge, an area of National Trust woodland. Every spring the woodland floor is covered with a carpet of bluebells. There is a heady scent of the flowers, the citrus green of new beech leaves opening on the beech trees and paths leading through bluebells. It is like a colour feast.

Wherever I go I take my sketch book so that if something inspires me I can do a quick sketch and write notes to myself for later studio reference.

My bluebell paintings are me trying to catch this brief moment of spring.
