Sandy Tweed's Acrylic Painting Gallery

Sandy's work is greatly influenced by twenty years of watercolor painting. Wishing to move beyond some of the limitations of watercolor she changed to acrylics. Her background can clearly be seen in the use of primarily transparent pigments. She uses multiple layers of these to achieve works ranging from light and ethereal to bold and intense. Her subjects focus on nature with a bit of whimsy thrown in on occasion.

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Sandy lived the past 20 years in the picturesque community of Astoria, OR. She has a degree in Zoology as well as a Masters in Teaching. Nearly a decade spent as a science teacher was followed by a decade as a remodeling contractor. Ready for another big change, she is currently exploring various northwest communities while spending a year painting full time.
