After graduating from Purdue University with a major in art, Sandy began her teaching career in the Greenfield-Central School System. Under her direction, after-school art clubs have created public art murals for Hancock County Humane Society and Greenfield Municipal Animal Shelter. The latest student project was a large format, stained glass mosaic featureing animal wildlife, installed in a pastoral, meditation area of the Nameless Creek Youth Camp.
Sandy has received Teacher Creativity Grants from the Lilly Endowment providing for travel to Japan and China, where she studied the art of Oriental wood block printmaking and the Meixia inlaid glass technique.
She is a musician, plays the acoustic guitar and enjoys singing with the Greenfield Christian Church choir. Sandy is a past board member of Kakuda & Greenfield Sister city, Inc. and Hancock Arts and Cultural Council. She is also a member of the CrazyLake Plein Aire painters, Indiana State Teachers Association and Art Educators Association of Indiana.
Sandy has taken up "artistic residence" in Studio 12A at 2 West Main St. and extends an open invitation to visit her studio on the second floor, just to the right of the elevator.
