She has studied wildlife art through a twelve month course from North Light Art School. She has also studied with landscape artists Tom Forrestal and Peter Gough, silk painter Holly Carr, and has attended many workshops in watercolors, egg tempera and acrylics. Sandy has also studied wildlife art from Lloyd Pretty, Ron Decker and Derek Wicks. Her recent realistic paintings of wildlife are painted in acrylics with many glazes, but she also paints animals in gouache, pastels, scratchboard, and watercolor, as well as sketching in graphite and ink.

Sandy's first two solo exhibits were featured in the Learning Resource Center Gallery (LRCG), at the Nova Scotia Teachers College, Truro, in January 1995 and 1998. Two of her paintings of the Eastern Shore are in the collection at Province House in Halifax. In 2001, Sandy won first prize in the “Art in Bloom” exhibition in Truro, N.S. Since then, she has won numerous awards and has been featured in various newspapers and publications.

SEA GLASS JEWELRY

Sandy’s new venture is designing and making sea glass jewelry. She uses sea glass from the Atlantic Provinces and she also buys glass from buyers around the world. She also uses a 2 toned glass that comes from the UK. This glass is very unique and shows 2 to 3 different colors in the glass. She uses three methods with the glass which is to glue bails to the pieces, to drill the glass or to wire wrap the glass. Her chains are sterling silver; the bails, wire and lockets are sterling plated, and the earrings are hypoallergenic. She sells sets of earrings with a necklace, as well as selling those items separately. Her new line that she has designed, are charm bracelets and lockets that are filled with sea glass.

You can find her sea glass jewelry in the following galleries, shops and venues:
