After a successful career as a fine artist, I decided—at 72—that I wanted to start blogging. Since I already had a site devoted to my artwork, I chose to call my blog “Apart from my Art”. Enjoy!
My first BlogHer conference and my award as one of the 100 Voices of the Year, presented by Queen Latifah.
How I discovered and fell in love with a Macintosh computer. And shook hands with Steve Jobs.
This moving video, "When I Come Home," honors our service men, women and their families. Those who serve, who wait for a homecoming, and those who grieve.
My art gallery dealer, Marti Koplin : "Sandra, can you draw?" Sandy: “Uh, I don’t know. I haven't drawn in a long time. I’m going to have to experiment.
My art gallery dealer: “Well, I’m curating a special exhibition here at the gallery of drawings by some of the nation's best artists. I’d like to include you in the show.”
This would be a ground breaking show. There had never before been a group show solely devoted to drawings, in a commercial gallery. It was a big deal and I definitely wanted to be included.
But, I hadn’t drawn since college. I never liked drawing because I loved color. I loved painting –– squeezing out gorgeous shades of oil paint onto my palette. Mixing together unique colors. Color. But, drawing? Not so sure.
