RECENT SHOWS
Ms. Sandra's Student
Art Show
I began teaching a small group of homeschooled middle schoolers and they had their art show in April 2025! I was so impressed and proud of all the hard work they put in this year! Two students ended up getting offers to buy their work- so exciting!!
In 2025, I had my second show at Artsworks@7th in North Beach, MD. Scripture inspired this most recent show. Regarding this collection, she states, “With each of these paintings I began by praying. Prayer is the most powerful experience one can have. I prayed for the Lord to lead me to His Words that would inspire each work. From there I wrote the scripture on the canvas, painting loose abstracts until I began to see an image emerge and speak to me. When I am painting, I am somewhere else. Somewhere absent of time, of space and I connect to my Savior in a way I cannot articulate. There is so much of my heart and soul in this work; I’m truly honored to share it.”
For I Know the Plans
I Have for You Show
In 2024, I had my show "Hiding in the Lime Tree." A collection of my most beloved work from over the past 25 years. It is an evolution from my life as a young, depressed woman that was lost to a saved, healthy and happy person I am today. Sharing my gifts and my joy with others!

EDUCATION
I graduated with a BFA degree from Mason Gross School of the Arts (affiliated with Rutgers University) in 2004, majoring in painting. I spent many years refining my skills as a painter, while a student, working with many well-known, NYC-based artist/professors. Color theory, design, drawing, book-making, paper making are all things I absolutely loved and immersed myself in. Prior to this time, I paid my way to purchase art and painting lessons with artist Tom Vincent in high school and was trained in the 'old master' style oil painting. This technique involved building up paint slowly to create very lifelike and photo realistic portraits.

WORK
I have spent the last 25+ years working in one way or another in the arts field. I have worked creating murals, paintings, asa design consultant, a graphic designer and a fine arts teacher.
Most recently I have gotten back into creating personal work and getting back to my passion of making murals. I frequent festivals and shows making quick and fun portraits of people. In 2023 I was awarded "Demonstrator Award" at the highly popular Southern Maryland "Artsfest" at Anne Marie Gardens. Art brings me so much joy, especially helping others make an amazing space or create a painting that means so much to them- it is priceless!
Currently some of my paintings can be seen at the calvART Gallery in Prince Fredrick, Maryland. Stop by and take a look!
