Print Exchange 2026: Sally Caston

Sally’s artistic inclinations began the moment she was able to pick up a coloured pencil.

Her childhood was spent growing up in the Australian bush, now based at Houghton, in the Adelaide Hills. Sally draws her inspiration from her surroundings; her work is heavily based on nature and its intricacies.

Majoring in printmaking and illustration at the University of South Australia, Sally has spent more than 25 years heading up a high-profile Design and Marketing consultancy firm in Adelaide, South Australia.

Her love of printmaking stems from a reaction against the digital, the mass-produced and overexposure to advertising. To use print as a way of making art – every time you lift that bit of paper off the plate you never know what you are going to get – no matter how much planning you do. It is all those happy accidents – interesting marks, the way the ink sits on paper, even the plate ….. we could go on.
