THE FINE ART OF
SANDY WHITE
‘If I were to isolate a 2″ square anywhere on the work, it had better be interesting, all on it’s own. The whole had better work in daylight and by candlelight and with sunglasses on, from various distances reflected in a mirror and upside down, as the abstract intersects with the representational, and always with joy.’
– Sandy White
Sandy White received her BFA in Painting from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania. She is holding the Devil’s Advocate Award, the only award she ever received in high school.
OILS
