Sally Newton
Sally Newton is an artist based in Hampshire. Her work looks at the natural world with form and texture. Beautiful landscapes, calming and mesmerising.
"I find so much inspiration from the local landscape. Being part of the rural coast is just fascinating, especially on a really cold, wintry day when there’s nobody else around."

'Salt'
'Salt' by Sally Newton. Oil on paper (2024). A special-edition landscape. A celebration of coastal hues.
“So when I start a piece, I select my colours first that I’m going to use and I will start mixing a palette.
I often mask off an area on the paper as there’s quite a lot of wildness and movement within the painting itself, and I think it sits against the contrast of a contained space beautifully.
I’ve loved working with Navygrey on this collaboration, it's provided the opportunity to look at different colour combinations for my work. I don’t normally work with such a paired back palette, and I wouldn’t typically work with the sort of navy blues and coastal colours.
We've put together this painting called ‘Salt’. This was a lot of fun to paint because I based it on beach called Gorran Haven in the south of Cornwall, and I just love the how the landscape sits and I found the palettes I used actually came to me quite easily.”
The Label
A limited-edition label. A woven re-creation of the beautiful coastal landscape specially commissioned by Navygrey.
The label is made in Portugal and crafted from 100% recycled polyester. The woven label creates the clarity of the artwork, whereas our normal labels are 100% organic cotton and printed.
Each first-edition BRETON JERSEY will have our specially commissioned 'Salt' limited-edition label and with each order a postcard showcasing the full piece of art is included.
