Biography

Sandra studied art at the Alberta College of Art in Calgary as well as in Europe during the three years she lived abroad. Since returning home to Canada, she has painted extensively.

Sandra prefers painting with oils on large canvases, transforming her subject matter into larger-than-life images. Her canvasses for the most part are of trees, flowers and fruit. Her subjects vary, but what remains is her dedication and passion for her art.

In 1982, Sandra graduated from Mount Royal College in Interior Design and in 1997 opened her own inner-city studio on 11th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta. Until June of 2000 when she relocated to her Bearspaw country studio where she currently continues to paint full time.
