Sally Swatland was born in 1946 in Washington, DC. She enjoyed spending time at beaches with her family and daughters. After having her first daughter in 1975, she often visited beaches in the summer and was inspired to paint scenes of children playing in tidal pools, capturing the light and colors. When her second daughter was born in 1981, she continued visiting beaches in the summer and found another model for her work.
