In Sandra’s own words: “I was born and raised in California and grew up on a small farm in the San Joaquin Valley. Vacations and weekend  getaways were frequently spent on the beautiful, mystical, central and south coast of California. No place like it. I have always been  interested in sketching and painting but never got serious until I retired. I can paint for hours and not even know what time it is.The stress of life just seems to go away while I’m painting a beautiful seascape or a snowy mountain scene. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them.”
