Sobre el Artista

Artist Bio: Sandra J Quintus is a 3rd generation painter whose extensive background in the field of decorative art makes for exciting twists and turns in her work. She learned portrait and figurative drawing as a child from her mother, an accomplished artist and furniture restorer. Sandra is nationally known for her fine art murals and trompe loeil treatments which showcase an understanding of construction, paint application and reactions, textures, gilding, theorem stenciling, grisaille, and glazing. But her work took an exciting turn toward a career in fine art when she pursued studies with Oil Painter’s of America Masters Daniel E. Greene in 2002, William Scott Jennings in 2004, and Daniel E. Greene again in 2009 at his studio in upstate New York. Her style is recognizably delicate and sensitive without being fussy or precious. She is especially adept at handling subtleties of skin, fabric, and is recognized for her paintings of the midwest wetlands. Her work has earned spots in the 2008 Paint America Top 100, Oil Painter’s of America Regional Exhibits, and is represented by Fine Line Designs Gallery, Sister Bay, WI and by the Clear Lake Arts Center.
