About the artist
Sandi is a self taught painter who wanted to bring depth and texture to
her travel art photography. She started experimenting first by heat
transferring her images onto watercolor paper then onto stone and now
incorporating it onto her painted canvasses.
Like her photographic images she has the ability to bring soul to her
paintings. She does this by capturing the beauty and solitude of landscapes
and personalities of people from across the world. “To express and share
what I see through my lens is a joy for me” Wilson humbly credits her
natural talent to her religious beliefs. Spirituality weaves its way into
her work.
Sandi Wilson builds her abstract acrylic paintings with layers of polymer
and paint. She also adds photo transfers which results in creating depth and
richness to her canvasses. She also has been working extensively doing encaustic paintings (pigmented wax that is melted ). Being a professional photographer for over 21
years Sandi incorporates her photography skills to transfer details onto her
acrylic paintings. In some cases, personal images unique to each client, the
result is an abstract piece secretly telling a story of the patron. She has
been a part of numerous groups and personal one woman shows over the past 13
years. |
