Bio:
Born In Margate, England in 1960, Sally Trueman
trained as a portrait painter under John Hughes-Hallett, official
portraitist of Queen Elizabeth II. She financed her studies in alternative
medicine by the sale of the paintings, and practised until 2000, when she moved
to Toulouse in the south of France to paint full time. Her portrait work continued –
including a painting of Zizou – French footballer Zinedine Zidane; and she
launched herself into a series of oils and pastels on the theme of the sea and
bathers. More recently she has concentrated on painting flowers, and has
returned to Kent, England, and more to oil.
Sally Trueman has had many successful exhibitions and is the receipient of numerous awards. She was featured in the 2012 edition Hors-Serie Pastel of the French magazine Pratique des Arts.

Style: Sally’s painting style combines
