When she was young, all Sally Heinrich wanted to do was get away from South Australia and experience the action of far-off places. After years of travelling, Sally came to realise the importance of home, belonging and cultivating connections to place. She began seeking out the stories of influential South Australians, and creating hand-coloured lino prints celebrating their lives and achievements.

Local Icons is a joyful and idiosyncratic collection of some these artworks, along with Sally's sometimes personal stories. From well-known legends like Anne Wills ('Willsy' to all) and a pink-shorted Don Dunstan to not-so-well-known faces like Koolbiri and Mahomet Allum, Local Icons is a celebration of South Australia and its people.
