Sandra is a mixed
water media painter of abstracted nature scenes and other abstracts.
She allows her intuitive experiences and emotions to dictate her colors
and designs. Her works are rendered on many layers of pigment using
a wide variety of materials. She is a workshop instructor at EAC.
For the last 15
years, Sandra has traveled extensively to such places as Mexico, Canada,
New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Malaysia, Bali, Africa, and
Europe. These diverse cultures of art have greatly influenced Sandra's
experimental passions to express abstract in a wide variety of ways
using textures, symbols, and different painting surfaces.
Sandra has always
had her own individual style, during the past seven years she has
had the opportunity to study under many well-known art instructors
such as Pat Dews, Carole Barnes, Pat San Soucie, Carla O'Conner, and
the Intensive Studies Seminar in Taos, NM.
