About my art

 

I’ve spent most of my life being compelled to create a visual images.

Drawings. Paintings. Searching. Experimenting. Discovering.

I create abstractions of living things and landscapes to symbolize ideas that are generally deemed to have spiritual, intellectual, or emotional merit.

The ideas I explore are forever evolving and include topics such as peace, hope, patience, home, perseverance, freedom, wisdom, time, and light.

I reach into moments of experience to explore hope, peace, home, etc.
These moments are visualized and symbolized in my abstractions.
The focus of that visualization is to record the many angles of the human experience with that topic. The moment focused upon may be the positive surrounding it, or the challenge of it, or the process of searching for it, or a moment of losing touch with it, and so on. It is a view into the human spirit growing and changing.

Through these experiences and moments we are interconnected.

 

Bio

 

Sally Moluf Hoss was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. She grew up with a strong interest in art during her school years. She continued that interest into college. She holds a BFA in Art Studio and a BS in Computer Science from the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

At the university, she enjoyed printmaking, drawing, and painting. Her thesis artwork from the university years is a collection of large, abstracted ink drawings. In the time following her thesis exhibit, she explored drawing with colored pencils and other drawing materials. In the early 2000’s, she jumped back into painting with acrylics. In 2021, digital artwork is added into the types of media she is exploring.

Today, her focus is painting and drawing with the primary media being acrylic paint and digital work.
