Biography
Sally Kheng studied art and design at Trent College in Nottingham and fine art at Edinburgh College of Art. She has spent many years sketching and painting her local Lincolnshire landscape and selling her work on the East Coast of England.
Sally trained as a silversmith in 2005 at Grimsby College and works from her studio at home in Lincoln, painting, creating textile art and jewellery.
She is a member of the ‘Lincolnshire Artists Society’ (LAS) and regularly exhibits with them at Doddington Hall and The Usher Gallery in Lincoln. Sally is also involved with ‘Creative Lincs’ and helps organise group exhibitions and Art Trails which involve many artists from all over the county.
In 2024 Sally opened a new gallery in Lincoln along side 8 other artists. As a cooperative business they run ‘Indigo Crow’ a contemporary gallery in the uphill area of Lincoln on Burton Road. The gallery can be hired by artists for private shows, it also has an artisan gift shop and a workshop room where Sally regularly teaches painting and silversmithing classes.
‘I love experimenting with landscape painting in different media; watercolour, handmade papers, acrylics and broken down textiles. My style has developed from a literal translation of the subject to a bold, more graphic representation.’

‘Bold Art’ is Sally’s book, mostly a photographic representation of her journey as an artist from leaving education to now. It is available to buy for £10 per copy in the ‘Work to buy gallery’ section of this website.
‘I see the landscape in vivid shades and I want to share my rose tinted glasses with the viewer. I first depict the view in sketchy scribbles of pen lines then I reawaken my drawings in watercolour, fabric, stitch and threads.’
‘My paintings are versions of merging landscape, light and abstraction. In my vision I want lines and geometric shapes to intersect, layer together and create a sense of distance and depth.’
