SALLY CATALDO  
“Creating art is an essential part of me. It is my form of communication.”  
Sally Cataldo can’t remember when art was not a part of her life. Her mother, the artist Fran  Hurd, needed no convincing to make art a part of Sally’s education. When circumstances led  Sally to work on the HP assembly line for years, she would draw on her lunch break and  attend art workshops on the weekend. A full-time artist since 1989, Sally wondered at first  about treading the artist’s path. “Give it five years,” she was advised. Over twenty years  later, she has a long resume of awards and recognition to allay any lingering doubts.  
“Experiment, always,” is her mantra and advice to aspiring artists. To that end, she clears her  studio of all previous work before making a fresh start on a new piece. “My goal is to create a  simple, poetic, visual language in my art.”  
Winning the prestigious High Winds Medal from the American Watercolor Society International  Exhibition in New York City in 2004 did not make a dent in Cataldo’s humble, disciplined  approach to creating art. Neither did having her paintings appear in numerous juried art  shows, publications, and books, including the recent Watercolor Painting by Tom Hoffman.  She continues her lifelong study of art, journeying to Tuscany to paint under the tutelage of  artists she admires.  
“Art is my visual and personal expression of places, people, and events that are a part of my  journey through life. My art is sincere feelings expressed.” The paint is the expression as  well.  
Sally Cataldo is a signature member of CWA, AWS, and NWS.
