Sally Amoore was born in Kenya, where she spent all her early life. It was here, in the White Highlands, that she developed a deep and abiding love of animals. A keen supporter of wildlife charities such as the WWF and International Animal Rescue, she is at her happiest when with animals. Her principle love has always been wildlife, particularly that of Africa, a continent she visits annually in search of new inspiration.

Sally also travels to other parts of the world, enjoying the flora and fauna of remote regions untouched by tourists. Often these treks are undertaken on horseback well off the beaten track.
She is a skilled rider, loves animals of all kinds and, while her primary interest is modelling animals found in the wild, Sally also undertakes commissions for domestic animals.

In the early seventies, Sally studied fine and decorative arts in London. Initially interested in painting, she worked in pastel and focused her talent on realist portraiture, working from life or photographs. For the last ten years, she has concentrated on sculpture, finding it the most challenging and rewarding medium. She sculpts in clay, casting her sculptures in either bronze or resin.

Sally treats her subjects with great verisimilitude, a trait that characterizes her work making the end results so true to life that they immediately catch the imagination. Her sculptures have been commissioned and exhibited throughout England. In July 2006, her latest achievement was to be awarded the prize for Best Sculpture at the Armed Forces Art Society’s 72nd annual exhibition, held at the Mall Gallery in London.

In 2008 Sally decided that if she was to do justice to a sculpture of the snow leopard, she should try to see this elusive predator in its natural surrounds. She therefore joined a small adventure expedition to the Kashmir Himalayas and was fortunate enough to obtain a sighting of this remarkable beast. A few potographs of this arduous journey in sub zero temperatures are now included.
