Sandra has been drawing horses ever since she was 7 years old. "My initial sketches were quite rough but I practiced constantly. I drew many dressage horses and riders doing the upper level movements of piaffe and extended trot. At that point I had never experienced what the riders in my drawings were doing. Now that I have ridden Grand Prix I am able to realize the dreams I had drawn onto paper. Over the years I have developed a feel for the natural, free flowing beauty of the horse form. I enjoy letting the colors and the horses come spontaneously and creatively. I have used different media such as pastel, watercolor, India ink and pencil. My favorite medium is definitely acrylic paints, using wood as my canvas. I also etch into the wood to create more dimension or paint with no brushes just using my hands (as shown in the photo to the right)."-Sandra
