A native of the Midwest, Sandra K. Allen has been painting for over 30 years. She always considered herself as having an artistic flare, so when she finally picked up a brush, she took up painting with a passion.

Sandi attended workshops throughout the country, including several with nationally known artist, author and teacher, the late Claude Croney.

“As I paint, I look for a mood, something touching, of sentimental value,” says Allen. She is a sensitive observer, patient, and willing to return again and again until she captures the image in watercolor. Allen splits her time between the mountains of North Carolina and her winter cottage in the coastal village of Cedar Key, Florida. Both venues offer her a painter’s paradise of opportunities.

Sandi's works are available for purchase throughout year at Catering Catering, Blair, Nebraska and Island Arts in Cedar Key, Florida.  She teaches painting during the winter season at the Cedar Key Arts Center.
