Artist Statement

These figures are all me on some level. In some way, shape, or form they are speaking in my voice. I work intuitively without sketches or pre-conceived ideas. The story evolves as I work. Life experiences, observations of people/nature, unresolved conflicts, fears, dreams, and disappointments all inform my work. Symbols appear, shapes, forms, faces, undefined creatures of deer/coyote, nature, and birds bring the story to life.

As a female, person of color, mother, wife, and artist, my journey is specific and unique to me. But often, there is a crossing of paths, or meeting place where the art speaks to or moves the viewer. It is on a deeply spiritual or emotional level, steeped in remembrance, sympathy, empathy, joy, humor, all human-to-human connections. It is where my story walks with your story.

My art communicates emotion and seeks to evoke a time and space that is both ancient and contemporary. After utilizing text, drawing, and collage in my work I finish with oils, acrylics, wax, graphite, and textural glazes.

About Sandi

I grew up in Eastern Washington, moving to Seattle at the age of 18. Originally interested in painting, I evolved to working in clay as I favor 3D work. I have been exhibiting and selling mixed media sculpture on the west coast and beyond for the last 15 years. Travel and nature inform my worldview, and therefore my art.
