Sally Russell is a California girl, born in San Francisco and raised in one of California’s most magical settings, the Monterey Peninsula. She’s a fourth generation native and comes from a bohemian bloodline. Her great, great uncle was a co-founder of Carmel, which is still an artist’s haven today. Needless to say, Russell was born with the creative gene. She has a keen sense of style, a passion for art, and a gift for mixing and matching elements. She’s adventurous and daring, and her personality is reflected in her work.

Raised in a tennis family, Russell was a ranked junior and collegiate player. She attended a variety of California Universities - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, San Francisco State University, and UC Santa Barbara - experimenting in textiles and studio art, but didn’t find her true creative expression until several years later. In the mid 1990’s, Russell began her exploration in clay. Greatly inspired by the works of Viola Frey, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Joan Brown, she was drawn to the irregularity of hand-building and the ease of acquiring texture. She soon developed a signature style mixing shapes, texture, color and pattern, and became fascinated with the interplay of these elements and the unlimited possibilities they create. Stacking components in a vertical fashion forces the viewer to physically interact and engage with the work from a variety of different angles. Hence, her bold ceramic totems were conceived, described by one collector as "pure vitality and joy."

His strategy was to purchase undervalued properties in desirable neighborhoods and improve them, thereby increasing cash flow and the value of the underlying real estate. Matt brings this same simple but effective approach to larger commercial properties via Driven Capital Partners.
