During the last few years she has painted in numerous American landscapes, Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden with a specialty in India. An experienced traveler Sandra has made numerous trips to India on painting excursions. Recently, Sandra painted her way around the world.

In the fall she returned to India for an exhibition at the American Center in Delhi and at Banares Hindu University in Varanasi.
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. Her style is still evolving and she does not plan to let it become stale by painting in the same manner for the rest of her life. This makes her paintings fresh and exciting. The colors are strong and dynamic.
