Sandy Sanders, born and raised in San Francisco and trained at the Art Center College of Design and Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, is a multi-disciplinary artist who blends painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, digital media and installation works. His mixed media works and installations, conceptual appropriateness, and a gritty street-smart aesthetic, explore themes of social connectedness, abstraction vs. representation/realism, as seen through the lens of visual object making. He seeks to immerse viewers in thought-provoking, mysterious, and contemplative experiences—inviting respite from a hectic post-modern world, or engagement with important social issues of the day.
