Sally Flora-French is a multi-talented artist, author and photographer. She works at her home in the lake town of Wagoner, Ok, but she grew up a city girl from Tulsa, Ok and graduated from Will Rogers High School. The architecture of the times is noted by her high school now in the historic registry for the incredible marble floors, and art-deco motifs. She likes to work in the early hours when it is quiet and the day is just unfolding. In 1983, five of her artworks in various media were selected for International Display at the Salon of Nations in Paris, France. Her talents include poems, children’s stories, acting, songs, ceramics, bronze, watercolors, fantasy portraits, and photography, She received a grant from Ball State University to document the properties of Simulated marble and other than bronze, she loves working in “cold cast” bronze using an alginate mold for a hydro stone sculpture.
To support her art habit she delivered balloons, did magic shows, puppet shows, and taught sign language of the deaf raised foster teen-agers and Yorkies. Her interest and love of drama, helped to start The Wagoner Playhouse -where she acted in, directed and produced many productions. Retiring from the Wagoner Courthouse where she completed the state mandated digital mapping for Wagoner County, she continues to write and sculpt with her Yorkies by her side. She is known as a “visionary and a dreamer” for the creativity that just explodes in so many areas. In 2007 she assisted in raising money for Tulsa Project Women and Breast Impressions- where money raised was to help low income women receive treatment/or diagnosis they could not afford. This resulted in her famous life size torsos in fiberglass with metallic flakes. Her family and friends are important. She likes peace and harmony along with a healthy dose of laughter and a great game of cards. She and her husband Bill have been certified scuba divers for over 50 years and her love of travel reading and artwork still keep her busy. Her motto is “To achieve the possible, you must attempt the impossible, and to be all that you can be, you must dream of being more.” Visit her website: sallyflorafrench.com and read the hilarious “ Sally’s Sagas” on face book.
