After graduating from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh’s School of Interior Design\, she worked in the custom drapery and fabric field for several years. During this time\, Sandy gathered a collection of fabrics that led her to use as her means of artistic expression. This took the form of abstract\, organic sketches being transformed into a fabric design appliquéd onto a background material. The finished piece is then stretch and stapled over a custom wood frame. \n\n\n\nUsing this style\, Sandy entered art shows such as a Juried Three Rivers Art Show where her work sold at a local Related Arts Society show where her appliqué was the only craft piece entered. Regardless\, that same piece was selected as Best in Show by three Jurists.  Another piece was purchased by the late Betty Raphael\, founder of The Store in Verona\, predecessor to Contemporary Craft. Along with Betty’s collection of favorite crafts\, this same appliqué piece was exhibited at the Scaife Gallery of the Carnegie Museum… a thrill for any artist! \n\n\n\nSandy also holds a B.A. in Biology from La Roche University\, Pittsburgh and is a licensed Private Pilot. Just for fun! \n\n\n\n\n3:30-4:30 pm Artist Critique and Show & Share \n\n\n\nThinking about entering into an upcoming Exhibition?
