Western and wildlife art, hand painted lamp shades and awesome  hand painted feathers along with original oil paintings are the passion of this artist.   Many unique one of a kind gift and collector items done only by Sandi.

 I acquired my knowledge of cowboys, horses and ranch life, from living the life and doing the work. My expertise with horses comes from having been horseback from the tender age of five. I know what a cow is planning before the cow does, however ”don’t expect me to rope her to change her mind, cause I’m no roper

.I started doing my own shoeing at age thirteen.  Breaking colts from age eleven, going on to train  race, show, and ranch horses.....I have 90% horse blood in my veins.

I was given the gift to be an artist, creating works in Oil, Watercolor, Sculpture, leather tooling ,  Engraving and working with many other mediums.

Being in the middle of a horse running full speed to head a cow, feeling a horse go down, or being bucked off, is a whole lot different than reading a book or watching a movie. The person who has been there knows the feel of a horses muscles, how he snorted or ducks his head  just as he pitched you skyward.  You know the fear, anger, excitement or anticipation in a horses, eyes, ears, and body. The same holds true of  working with cattle.

This is the knowledge it takes to make a piece of art come to life before the eyes of the viewer. Accuracy in attitude, conformation, and realism are the most important ingredients to making a fine piece of work, whether it is on canvas, or any other material.

Custom orders are encouraged. Your animal, event, or scenery can be painted or engraved on any surface. Many of my works are used as awards for horse events of every kind.

My husband Ray and I have moved to the home ranch in North Central Idaho.   

There will be many new items on this site very soon.
