Artist and Designer in Melbourne, Australia
Sally Cummings
Artist. Designer. Crafter. Librarian. Foodie. Geek.
I'm an emerging artist and designer based in Melbourne, Australia. I create clean and colourful designs that involve a combination of controlled and fluid elements. My drawings and surface patterns are inspired by the shapes and colours I observe in the world around me. My favourite media include pigment liners, ink, watercolours, acrylics and digital media. I love creating designs for embroidery, textiles and surfaces - there's nothing more exciting than seeing my designs in other people's hands and homes!
I've taken the long way around to rediscovering my creativity, having worked for many years in different professions and jobs (science, government, libraries). I recently returned to study in the field of visual arts, and found my passion in creating designs that are simple but full of colour and energy. When I'm not drawing or painting, I love to stitch, craft, read, cook, and drink tea on my back verandah. I have a patient partner and an impatient cat. I enjoy taking photos as I walk around my neighbourhood and city, and my daily life is somewhat haphazardly recorded on Instagram.
