Meet Sandy...

​Educated in Texas, with a degree in Art and Masters in Education, Sandy started her career as a teacher of young children and worked part-time as a Realtor.  The real estate finally took over and lasted 36 years but when her children gave her a digital camera and she moved to Colorado her photographic spirit emerged.  She shortly became a photo maniac shooting everything in sight and taking classes on line for hours.  Traveling the Southwest with her husband, Glen, provided unlimited material to photograph.
 
Her other side is faux art; the several hundred year old art of vinegar painting. Using vinegar and powdered earth pigments, manipulating them with various objects like painter’s putty, corks, and feathers, designs are painting in segments, with the watery medium. Once dried and shellacked the objects are finished in various varnishes to obtain the final finish desired.
 
“What a fun hobby; messing in the paints and photography, and producing real art.” Her photographs, cabinets standing and hanging at the Creamery, decorative accessories and floor cloths, are testament to “you CAN teach an old dog new tricks”. And the old dog is still learning.
