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.
For the last fifteen 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
six 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.
