About the art:
"Acrylic Mosaic Fusion" is unique to Sandy - perfecting this technique over a number of years. How did it start? Recycling. Sandy keeps every old canvas, even paints over others’ old paintings. A collection of potential trash - photographs, Christmas cards and postcards became much more significant when combined with a painting. Each mosaic style portrait work holds personal mementos from the artist...secret messages from the artist. Look for faces, words, or themes in each individual "tile."
