Sally
Banfill's acrylic paintings depict strange, uniquely American landscapes.
Stark and surreal scenes have been archaeologically stripped of
clutter to reveal some odd artifact such as a coin operated
elephant
or the bygone gas station shaped like a cowboy hat and boots. These
lonely tableaus have an air of mystery and a touch of the ominous.
 Banfill
is from Olalla, Washington. She studied at the San Francisco Art
Institute and received a BFA from the University of Hawaii in 1984.
Much of her inspiration comes from the 20th century American Regionalist
painters; from the lonely isolated scenes of Edward Hopper to the
whimsical and twisted world of Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood.
