Sandy is the consummate artist. Using vibrant palettes of vivid hues,her work embodies a fresh, feminine, and passionate
perspective.
Whatever she does, she does it colorfully!
Sandy consistently endeavors to capture the essence of her subjects, be it the pose of a fashionista, a lively beach scene, a coquettish
shoe or a inquisitive Lamb.
Along with a representational approach , Sandy’s push and turn toward abstraction and non-figurative renderings signals an evolving
signature style;the themes and provocative palette have remained constant, but she has embraced a new manner of expressing them. With energetic mark makings and gestural flourishes of delight , she
manages to keep her artistic voice fresh and full of ephemeral elements of enthusiasm and liveliness. Painting is her pulse and many of herpaintings POP with provocative color and flirtatious
style.
Sandy looks to and through all her daily experiences as sources of inspiration. Painting, gardening, decorating ,and currently working as
a free-lance make-up artist for Chanel allow her to be creative. Festivity and joy are the foundation of Sandy”swork , ones which she celebrates not only with each viewer, but also with her furry
critics and studio mates, Tootsie her dog and his cat cousin Maurice Matisse.
Sandy’s work has graced various galleries and art consortiums, including the Fisher Gallery at the Farmington Valley Arts Center, Chase
Gallery at the Jewish Community Center, West Hartford Art League, Asylum Hill Congregational Church, Hartford Stage, Real Art Ways, On Twenty and the New Britain Museum of American Art. She was the
featured artist for the English Room’s Artist Spotlight . Sandy has been featured in the Hartford Courant, West Hartford Public Television, Farmington Valley Arts Center Connections, and has appeared
as Artist magazine’s featured artist.
The Hartford Courant featured her “Cakes on Canvas” praising her whimsical cake series, while the New England Home Magazine displayed her vibrant beach
series.
“Painting is not just a hobby , it is vital to my life. Summer is my mirror and fashion is mymuse. My palette is filled with the delicious colors of summer. The
reaction to my work is joy and happiness. I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m excited and inspired by the welcoming world that surrounds me, an island’s hydrangea, a stretch of sand and beach
umbrellas, a fashionable figure and, yes, all kinds of animals.This is how I choose to create my life and my art”
" I dream my paintings, then I paint my dreams" Van Gogh
