Sandra has lived in Leadville, CO, with her husband, Dale, for the past 31 years.  Her pastel paintings represent the beauty and awesomeness of the gorgeous mountain landscapes of the Continental Divide.

While recovering from a serious illness and injury in the late 1990’s, Sandra became interested in painting. Wheelchair bound and weak for many years, she watched Helen Van Wyk’s fine art painting videos, over and over again.  In 2002, she became strong enough to hold a paint brush and endeavored to learn everything she could about painting in various mediums.

In 2018, Sandra was awarded First Place in the Presbyterian Manor’s “Ageless Art” competition for artists over 60 years of age in Winfield Kansas.
