During the 1980's, living in Los Angeles, Sales painted a variety of textiles and fine art while maintaining a full-time job in the real estate development industry. In 1990, she headed for Santa Fe and after twelve years of painting and developing her career there, she moved to Dallas in 2004. She is most often associated with vivid colorfields and lively abstract expressionist works all of which are linked by her signature smooth, glossy surface. This technique which she developed and mastered brings a lively, deep and inviting finish to each painting. Her works are in corporate and private collections around the world and have adorned the covers of numerous magazines including House Beautiful, DECOR and most recently the 2008 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. She is currently represented by Telluride Gallery of Fine Art, Telluride CO.
