Sally Haley

Sally Haley (June 29, 1908 – September 1, 2007) was an American painter. Her career spanned much of the 20th century and she is credited for helping to expand the emerging art scene in Portland, Oregon, during the middle of the century. Much of her work was an application of egg tempera, a technique which leaves a flat, brushless surface. She preferred domestic subjects and interior spaces with hints of the indoor or outdoor space that lay beyond. Haley and Russo also worked closely with Arlene Schnitzer, especially early on when she opened the Fountain Gallery in 1961.

Haley and her husband were part of a group of artists who helped to create a small art scene in Portland, which are now a part of the city's landscape.

Haley and Russo's legacy had been carefully attended to over the years by their niece Laura Russo, who opened the Laura Russo Gallery in Portland in 1986. The gallery would house much of their works, showing and selling them regularly. The gallery is now owned and operated by Martha Lee, who still regularly shows their work to this day.

Mike Russo died in 2004, and Sally Haley died 3 years later at an assisted living facility in Portland, Oregon, on September 1, 2007, at age 99.
