Sally Huss has been an artist all of her life. She was raised in Bakersfield, California where she took her first private oil painting lessons at the age of 10. She studied art at Occidental College, eventually graduating from the University of Southern California with a degree in Fine Arts.

At the same time Sally (Sally Moore) was developing her art skills, she was developing her tennis skills. She became National Junior Champion, a member of the U.S. Wightman Cup Team and a Wimbledon semi-finalist. As an accomplished tennis player Sally taught her special brand of Zen tennis to celebrity clients such as Barbra Streisand, Joel Grey, Jill St. John, Larry Hagman and Jack Jones among others. After playing the Virginia Slims Women's Tennis Tour against such professionals as Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert Sally became the head rackets pro at The Aspen Club in Colorado. There she hosted visiting celebrities, including Clint Eastwood, Merv Griffin, Ingamar Johansson and Rod Laver.

In the 1980's with the help of her husband Marv, former head of advertising and promotion for Hallmark Cards, Sally returned to art and writing in a big way. With her own products - gift art and original paintings -- she branched out into licensing her designs for greeting cards for American, lines of wallpaper, ceramics, mugs and T-shirts. Now, her art dances across thousands of products including signature lines of clothing, purses, children's books and even baby bibs. Her painting and gift art brighten walls and uplift hearts in homes, office buildings and hotels. One piece even graced the walls of The White House - a special commission for Hillary Clinton entitled "A Happy Child" for her 50 th birthday celebration.

Today Sally Huss is considered one of the leading artists/designers in the country, in many cases combining her writing talents with her art. This has resulted in publishing a number of books for children and THE HAPPY BOOK for Ten Speed Press. This combination of artistic talents has also taken her into national newspaper syndication by King Features for her illustrated panel of happy thoughts called Happy Musings, now appearing in such papers as The Detroit Free Press, The Orange County Register, The Desert Sun and others.

Sally is founder of Sally Huss, Inc., a 20 year-old California corporation, encompassing licensing, merchandising activities and syndication through King Features.

For years as a speaker to women's business and social groups, sports associations, and charity gatherings Sally has shared her happy and inspirational message. Positive, fun and enlightening, her words empower and inspire those who hear her.
