Name/Title
Ivy Pk. - Willow Salzer - Purple CloudsDescription
Willow has been doing art her whole life. In high school she was considered the “class artist,” designing the art that accompanied class projects. Originally from Philadelphia, she took art classes at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University and at Moore College of Art & Design.
Willow moved to San Francisco two years ago. “It’s beautiful here!” She loves to be in nature and from her home on Cathedral Hill she has access to a nearby park and great views of the ocean. She loves willow trees and took on the name Willow when she was 40.
In her AWE art class she works with acrylics, but she is also experienced with oil, pastels and chalk. She enjoys her AWE classes because she finds new ways to do things. Her preference is to do things on her own. She picks up visual clues that others don’t see.
As is true for many of us, Willow doesn’t like anybody telling her how to do things. “Too many rules and regulations.” She also believes that “sometimes a mistake produces one’s best work yet!”
