What Other Artist's Have to Say About Sandra's Work:
"Very fine work. If you can paint in this light you can paint anywhere."
Daniel E Greene-OPA Master, Pastel Society Hall of Fame,

"Now that is painting, stirs emotions. It doesn't just fool the eyes. It fools the senses."
Teresa Stanley-Professional Decorative Artist-New Orleans

"Sandra, your work always lifts me, you paint so beautifully and I love the way you handle figures and skin, you get skin...just so beautifully. Award well earned."
Cait Whitson-Carte Blanche Decorative Art Company-Perthshire, Scotland

"Beautiful figurative work!"
Michel Nadaï, award winning Master Artisan Decorative Painter and instructor, Southwest of France. Founder and owner of the renowned Nadaï-Verdon Advanced School of Decorative Painting. Established in 1992 training students in the fine tradition of French Painted Decor.

"The way in which you handle the paint is so delicate and sensitive (without ever being fussy or precious). Your coffee dreamer is beautiful! The figure has such believable weight to her. You can sense the pressure of her hand on the column. Great understanding of the human form. The combination of classical/​allegorical setting and contemporary clothing is a very nice one! Really, really lovely!!!"
