Sally Struts Her Stuff

May 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

We seem to be in movie houses, art studios and libraries this week as we find older people singing, filming, painting, and writing.

Sally - The Older Woman’s Illustrated Guide to Self-Improvement is a biography of Sally Pierone. Pierone is an 86 year old who has rediscovered herself through her art.

The fascinating biography of Pierone’s life is written by award-winning writer, Judy Laddon, and illustrated with Pierone’s paintings that are part carcaciture and part surreal visions that plumb below the surface to find nearly unconscious fears, joys, questions, and memories.

Eldr, the site for a wonderful magazine, carries an article about Pierone and a gallery of her paintings. Judy Laddon’s blog continues to chronicle Pierone’s life, and the book’s site provides reviews and more paintings.
