As a clay artist, I’m most interested in exploring the different ways that it can be used to tell a story. Sometimes that ends up being a functional piece like a mug or a vase, and sometimes it’s sculpture, but color, texture and form all play together to create something that strikes a chord within me, and hopefully within others!

Sandra has been been creating stained glass art for 9 years now but she was first taught by her high-school art teacher. Her fascination with the interplay of light and glass has guided her artistic journey, leading her to explore how colored and textured glass can transform and bend light, casting beautiful shadows, reflections, and ever-changing patterns. Sandra works out of her studio in the Bachrach building here in Faribault. She also teaches stained glass classes privately and through the Paradise Center for the Arts.
