Sally Colahan Griffin is a painter of figurative and landscape narratives, events, historical stories and dreams. Her art is in the broad band of non-traditional realism which merges contemporary life and memory within broader historical and political worlds.
Her non‑traditional realism gracefully resists overt literalism: what may begin as what I see transforms into what I understand - symbolic gestures towards life’s layered landscape - memory, family, public life and politics.
