While studying at San Francisco State University, Sally Saul became acquainted with the Bay Area visual arts movement, characterized by a penchant for bright colors and an interest in drawing subject matter from day-to- day life. In the early 1980s Saul relocated to Austin where she enrolled in ceramics courses at the University of Texas, and began to formalize her process. Informed by memory, her sculptures explore complexities of the human condition. In recent years Saul has achieved significant milestones in her career. Her first survey exhibition Blue Hills, Yellow Tree, opened in 2019 at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, NY. She has also participated in exhibitions at venues including Jeffrey Deitch, the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, White Columns, and many others.
