An avid traveller, Sandra comes from a photographic and horticultural background.

Sandra has worked in the arts sector since the 1980s at Australian Craftworks, Sydney, the Flying Pig, Berry and more recently at Sturt Craft Centre,  Mittagong. She enrolled In the University of Tasmania, where she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1998 majoring in photography and printmaking. Further studies in printmaking were completed at Wollongong, Moss Vale and Goulburn TAFE campuses.

Since moving to the Southern Highlands in 2002, Sandra has exhibited regularly with the Southern Highlands Printmakers. Prior to this she exhibited in group exhibitions in Tasmania including a solo exhibition in Hobart in 1997.

In 1989 Sandra was commissioned by the Art Gallery of NSW and the National Gallery of Victoria to produce support artworks for the touring exhibition, German Expressionism: the Colours of Desire.
