Inspirational Stuff: Sally Storch

Sally lives and works in Pasadena California, is a USC graduate and was married to the late Richard D. Bunkall another painter.

This will be the first of many posts that showcases stuff that inspires the American Pulps team. Whether it’s movies, music, art, or real life people we take out inspiration from everywhere.

We’re pretty eclectic over here and we may be compelled to talk about things as wide ranging from Filippo Brunelleschi’s architecture to Big L’s “rap noir” song Casualties of a Dice Game.

Today we’re going to talk about the art of Sally Storch.

Sally grew up in an artistic family, with one aunt, Bertha Rihani who lived and painted in Paris during the 1920’s and hung out with Henri Matisse among other artists. Another aunt and major influence on her was Stephanie Stockton who attended The Art Students League in New York and apprenticed under John Steuart Curry.

Aside from her artistic aunts, Sally Storch cites Edward Hopper and Thomas Hart Benton as major inspirations to her work. She’s also a writer, which comes through in her work because she’s a pretty good story teller with the brush as well as the pen. Here’s some of her stuff, enjoy.
