    Sally Brown is a Tasmanian artist and designer who creates unique furniture, sculpture, and contemporary craft objects.  Her work is informed and inspired by the structures and forms she sees around her in Tasmania’s natural environment.  Gentle lines, subtle colours and an emphasis on pattern and texture are characteristic of her work.
