RECREATION | Sally King Benedict

Hemmings Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Sally King Benedict, the first in her new hometown of Ketchum. For the past fifteen years, Benedict has built an impressive following with major shows in Atlanta, Charleston & New York. Known for both her figurative and abstract work, she has been featured in Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Domino and Southern Living. Benedict's exuberant style is unmistakable and showcases her expert use of color and dynamic brushwork. Sally and her family moved to Ketchum from Atlanta in 2021. She's thrilled to present her first body of work inspired by life in the Wood River Valley. In her words, "I have come to realize that the ways I now recreate have also in fact re-created me. This body of work reflects my transition as an artist to a new home over the last two years with imagery inspired by a totally new landscape…one which exists simultaneously between humans and Mother Nature. I have experienced a new viewpoint amongst this community, all while bringing a new baby into the world. I am in a constant state of exhale and disbelief that we get to live here. These paintings reflect my respect for the community here and the way people surrender to the earth and its abundance." Come meet and celebrate the artist on opening night Friday, July 7th from 5:00-7:30pm!
