Experience

Sally Oyler has travelled widely from her native Scotland, drawing her inspiration from a rich variety of fauna and landscape. She works using a variety of media including watercolour, oil, acrylic, having built up her own individual techniques.

Her training in graphics and textile design has influenced her style of painting, drawing one’s eye to the patterns and textures inherent in nature. Sally’s work is a striking and colourful perception of the natural world, often surprising with a quirky twist.

Sally has had 13 highly successful solo exhibitions and her work is now in corporate and private collections in Italy, the USA, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Australia, as well as the UK. Scottish collectors include Anderson Strathern WS, Bank of Scotland (Executive office), Chiene & Tait CA, First State Investments, Davidson Chalmers LLP, Aberdeen Asset Management plc, Elizabeth, Duchess of Hamilton, Jones Lang LaSalle, Kenmore Property Group, Macphie of Glenbervie, Rettie & Co Kilmartin Property Group, Cairn Energy plc, Her Grace, The Dowager Duchess of Haddington, HBOS plc (Head Office), The Hon Sir William McAlpine Bt and Lord and Lady Sanderson of Bowden.

Sally Oyler lives and works in East Lothian and accepts painting commissions on a wide range of subjects which have included buildings, landscapes, creatures (wild and tame) and portraits.
