With maternal Welsh heritage informing aspects of her recent research, she works across canvas, linen, and reclaimed Welsh slate, using oil paint, pigment, oil stick, and mixed-media processes to create works that move between abstraction, landscape, and artefact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer paintings often develop through layering, abrasion, staining, and intuitive gesture, allowing materials to retain traces of time, labour, and transformation. Recent research has focused on slate as both support and subject — a material tied to extraction, fracture, ancestry, and inherited landscape. Through painting on broken slate fragments, Salisbury reimagines stone as relic, icon, offering, and contemporary image. Alongside this sculptural and material enquiry, her larger paintings investigate atmosphere, movement, and psychological states through luminous colour and shifting forms, balancing sensuality with historical consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalisbury is currently completing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London (2025–2026), supported by the Basil H. Alkazzi Scholarship Award. She previously completed the Turps Banana Studio Programme, London (2016–2018), where she received the Darbyshire Prize for Emerging Artist, and an MA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts, London (2015–2016), supported by the John Hoyland Scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecent exhibitions include \u003cem\u003eSalon\u003c\/em\u003e in Peckham Rye, London (2026); \u003cem\u003eMythic Manifest\u003c\/em\u003e at Love Waxes Cold, curated by Jennifer Smith (2025); \u003cem\u003ePOST\/\/FUTURE\u003c\/em\u003e at the Saatchi Gallery, presented by Delphian Gallery (2025); \u003cem\u003eThe Reactor Fundraiser\u003c\/em\u003e at The Sunday Painter, London (2024); \u003cem\u003ePapier Vol. II\u003c\/em\u003e with Delphian Gallery, Helsinki (2024); \u003cem\u003eMatrescence\u003c\/em\u003e at Unit 1 Gallery Workshop, London (2023); \u003cem\u003eI Know Not How It Falls On Me\u003c\/em\u003e in Bruton, UK (2023); \u003cem\u003eReverdie\u003c\/em\u003e in Edinburgh (2023); and \u003cem\u003eArt on a Postcard\u003c\/em\u003e at Soho Revue Gallery, London (2023).
