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 Sandras 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 OConner, and the Intensive Studies Seminar in Taos, NM.
