Sally Treanor, a seasoned artist with a diverse background, has called Western NY home since 1987, following a journey that has taken her across the United. Her artistic pursuits have led her to study under Master Watercolor teachers in locations spanning from the US and China to Switzerland, the British Isles, Greece, and Italy. Sally's passion for watercolor has translated into extensive exhibitions and teaching engagements at all skill levels, now conducted remotely via Zoom. She also provides mentorship to advanced watercolor artists. Sally has contributed significantly to the arts community, serving in various leadership roles with the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society, Buffalo Society of Artists, and as an exhibiting member of the Fine Arts League of Buffalo.
