Sandy is a Landscape architect and painter located in Sisters OR. In Sandy’s words, she speaks of the experiences that influence her work. “I find inspiration to paint everywhere. While walking through the streets of an Italian village, listening to the drumbeat on a Caribbean Island, swimming in the clear blue ocean in the tropics, throwing the tennis ball to my dog, watching the exotic animals in the city zoo, checking out a cow in a nearby pasture, these are the things that move me to paint! I liberally paint my interpretations with bold colorful brushstrokes across the canvas.”
