About Your Host
Award-winning West Coast artist Sandy Terry draws inspiration from the abundant natural beauty of British Columbia. She is drawn to capture the simple elegance in the curve of a leaf, subtle shifts in colour and the radiance of light as it interacts with form, all in a moment in time.
Dramatically representational, with loosely flowing brushwork and richly layered pigment to achieve greater depth, her vibrant renderings embody the essence of splendour and grace in nature’s timeless canvas.
Sandy’s paintings are in private collections Internationally. For current work, shows, and events, consult her website.
