Whispers….Glimpses…Fragments

Sandy loves the sense of mystery left in a painting, not spelling out each detail. She uses a glazing or layering process of fluid acrylic paint along with mediums, sands and miscellaneous materials, creating texture, using symbolism, color and line. She enjoys leaving the viewer enough space to create their own stories in her paintings. Her art work expresses a whisper, a glimpse, a fragment, a meditative thought, just as each moment of our lives is but a small glimpse into the whole.

She has been painting for about 30 years. Sandy has found that her art work has become a way of life and is more about the journey than the destination. It is continually evolving as she grows not only as an artist but as a person.

Sandy lives in Manchester, Michigan with her husband, John. Her work is usually accompanied by his wonderful hand rubbed frames of cherry, Brazilian cherry and maple.

Artist Statement:

My body of work deals with the mysteries and complexities of daily life and circumstances.  In my painting process, the picture plane becomes a field to convey fragments of my emotions and thoughts.  I explore this concept using transparent layering techniques.  In order to give the painting a sense of history and complexity, I build textures using mediums, calligraphy, papers, sand and cloth.  My intent is for these paintings to become an unveiling, an exploratory dig so to speak, of deeper issues of life brewing under the surface that eventually make their way to the picture plane.
