Highlights of Some of Sandy's Shows and Efforts
I find great joy in creating and in sharing my passion with friends and kindred spirits. Playing a part in enriching peoples lives by really being present and finding more joy in the moment, intensifies the excitement I feel for art, life, knowledge and adventure! Join me for a brief recap of a few highlights from over two decades of my fine art painting career. What you can't see is the more important stuff like staying motivated, positive and focused when the going gets tough. Constant practice has often sent me searching for variety, inspiration, a fresh set of challenges and a new approach or beginning.
