Sandy is an award winning artist, working with fabric for about 16 years. Originally from Washington,DC, she and her husband Kevin and daughter, Erin, have lived in southern Virginia for over 20 years, recently with the family dog, Flynn.
After a lifelong love of art, galleries and museums, and yearning to create, Sandy found her medium in quilting in 1998, quickly moving from traditional to more and more innovative work. Many of Sandy's quilts are made from fabrics she has dyed. Others are hand painted. Her early work is all hand appliqued and hand quilted. Later work is turned edge machine applique and machine quilted. Most recently she is experimenting with raw edge applique and more hand painting. In most of Sandy's work, "eyes" play a major role. If the eyes are alive, the work is a success.
