Sally Cooney Anderson received a BFA from Syracuse University in 1971 and worked for more than 30 years as a graphic designer and photographer in New York City and as a non-profit manager in Florida, California, and Northern Virginia, specializing in marketing and fundraising. After moving to Fredericksburg in 2005, she became a “Professional Volunteer” and has served with several organizations including the disAbility Resource Center, Rappahannock Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Fredericksburg Host Lions Club, The Holiday Project, AARP Fredericksburg Chapter, and the Rappahannock United Way.

Several years ago, after visiting Artful Dimensions Gallery in Fredericksburg, she was inspired to take advantage of her fine art training and she became a fiber artist. Sally concentrates on free-form crochet as a technique in creating fashion for the body and the home. Her work is displayed at Artful Dimensions Gallery in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

She is also the author of life. I can choose, a pictorial work about her experience with suicide, and a blogger sharing insights on OnlytheGOODNews.

Sally’s mission is to create, produce and share vehicles for people to discover empowering new opportunities that support the attainment of their goals and the quality of their lives.
