Sally Wright was born and raised in Los Angeles California. After receiving her Art History degree from UCLA she joined her parents antique business Richard Gould Antiques becoming President on her father's death in 1980.

A lifelong interest in art and design led her through many fiber and craft worlds until 1998 when she was inspired by an episode of Alex Anderson's "Simply Quilts" to make a sampler quilt for her then nine year old son's bed. She bought a few books and, self taught, set upon the task. Soon she discovered local classes at Sewing Arts Center in Santa Monica , quilting seminars through Empty Spools at Asilomar in Pacific Grove and classes at major quilt shows all over California. She has studied with such nationally recognized teachers as Ruth McDowell, Sharon Schamber, and Esterita Austin.

She has moved from the area of traditional pieced bed size quilts into the world of Art Quilting in recent years and uses piecing, appliqué', fusing, fabric painting, mixed media , thread painting, beaded embellishments and couched yarns to enhance her quilts that reflect her interest in the decorative arts, history and the natural world.

Her quilts have been exhibited at both local and national shows including Road to California, AQS Nashville, IQA Chicago and The Pacific International Quilt Festival.

Sally lives in West Los Angeles with her husband Glen and college student son, David.
