Despite the beauty and quality of Sandra's work she is an emerging artist as she has only painted for a few years. Sandra’s career has taken many twists and turns before arriving in the world of painting however. She began as a mechanical draftsman in an odd fit of not following her calling to be a painter. She then became a woodworker, building harps at Lyon and Healy in Chicago. After attending Hope College and earning a degree in Women's Studies she wrote 5 one woman plays. She travelled across the country performing these at numerous venues as well as four shows in India. In 1992 she ran for state representative in Michigan, but has always be grateful that she didn't win as the arts are so much more fun. During the last few years she is finally pursuing her painting vocation in a serious manner. Since she travels a lot, the best way to buy her original art is throught Reflections Fine Art Gallery at 616 396-6146 or by email at artnomad@sandrahansen.
