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. Sally's work may also be purchased via Island of Art and artfair365.

I have done a series of studies on men doing their daily work, and in particular the two fishermen shown here. In this art piece the fishermen are checking their nets for fish. The fishing net mesh funnels the eye in towards the men and their task. The bright waterproof coats of yellow and orange add interest.

The working fishing fleet of Newlyn in Cornwall is an ongoing source of artistic inspiration and I often sketch standing on the old Newlyn harbour wall looking across to the fishing boats.
