Sandy Whetstone
After following a career as an English teacher at Sacramento City College
for the past 14 years, Sandy decided to devote more time to her art. She
began in 2002 with batik painting and drawing while she was in Thailand for
a year with her family. Since then she has worked with clay, bronze, steel,
and acrylic.
Currently, Sandy divides her time between raising a family, working on
house and garden projects, volunteering at her children's school, designing
and teach a summer art camp for children at a local Montessori school, and
studio time at Panama Pottery.
Much of her work has focused on the blending of flora and fauna with the
human form. Whimsy and humor are important elements in her work. Most
recently she has been collaborating with her studio mate, the muralist and
exhibit designer Marsha Schindler, on several commissioned ceramic woks
and murals.
