Sally Buck is an award winning photographer, art educator and 2SLGTBQ+ woman living on the west coast of Canada. Her artworks appear in diverse modes of display, from gallery shows to mobile exhibitions and interventions in public spaces.

In her current imagery she uses photomontage to explore bio-diverse eco-systems, suggesting both climate change and, the potential adaptations among continents, humans and natural beings.

Her street photography has been published by the Georgia Straight, the Tyee, rabble, Vice magazine, Ms Magazine, Medium, musician David Byrne’s project Reasons to be Cheerful, and in reports by the United Nations.
