Sally Winters work is marked by a spontaneous handling of media that imbues her paintings and drawings with an energetic, dynamic quality. Either indoors or outdoors we can be certain that her watercolour paintings, done on the spot, represents a sincere and sensitive attempt to capture a fleeting instant of time. The mood of the moment is conveyed powerfully in her paintings and drawings. A storm-lashed landscape, the stressed pose of a figure, a still-life arrangement in a quiet room. It is emotional involvement with the scene before her that she strives to convey clearly through her work.

Her watercolour and pastel works show high regard for shape, colour and pattern across the picture plane. Figures are captured in life-drawings through broad strokes of charcoal quickly applied, with as much respect for the medium as the image represented.
