I create abstractions of living things and landscapes to symbolize ideas that are generally deemed to have spiritual, intellectual, or emotional merit.

The ideas I explore are forever evolving and include topics such as peace, hope, patience, home, perseverance, freedom, wisdom, time, and light.

I reach into moments of experience to explore hope, peace, home, etc.
These moments are visualized and symbolized in my abstractions.
The focus of that visualization is to record the many angles of the human experience with that topic. The moment focused upon may be the positive surrounding it, or the challenge of it, or the process of searching for it, or a moment of losing touch with it, and so on. It is a view into the human spirit growing and changing.

Through these experiences and moments we are interconnected.

Sally Moluf Hoss is an abstract artist from Nebraska, now based on the west coast. These locations have embedded influences from the midwest heartland to the west coast shores into her work. She works creating paintings and drawings featuring media such as acrylic paint, ink, pencil, and digital media. Her primary focus is on themes that record our persistence, vision, failures, and successes as we strive toward certain intangible ideas and virtues. Those themes are topics such as peace, hope, home, patience, perseverance, discovery, and possibility. She often incorporates biomorphic images and abstract landscapes into her artwork.

Sally holds a BFA in studio art and a BS in computer science from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Over her long art career, her art has been exhibited in many gallery shows. One of her art projects included a Nebraska public art bench project where her artwork design was sponsored and displayed by PayPal in their La Vista, Nebraska location. 

Her interests tend to be in everyday life experiences that intersect with philosophical thoughts. Her artwork visualizes these moments as biomorphic abstractions through a blend of natural shapes and symbols. The imagery taps into common emotional needs, ideas of thought and discovery, and spiritual topics. She has an ongoing focus on moments experiencing humanity’s resilience and fragility through the lens of a single individual.
