About the Artist Sally Spofford
A powerful affinity for ancient art forms draws me to Mexico, Gautemala, & Honduras.
Follow your Dream:
"I was in second grade attending an outdoor art class. I can remember sketching the patterns on the bark of a sycamore tree and being lost in the process. I felt like I was using all parts of my brain. This was the first time I knew that doing art was going to be the direction much of my life would take."
Later in life, "It is the Maya who speak to me directly through their richly exhuberant, yet elegant culture with its close connection to both the natural and the supernatural. The immersion in the Maya has led me into a deepening interest in the development of cultures generally, and the symbols and myths we humans share."
