Sandra Edgar Davis

Sandra Edgar Davis uses her camera with imagination to chronicle the contrasts of light and color that reflect life being lived and treasured. She scouts the streets of her Savannah hometown capturing the nuances of a familiar scene: the solidity of a warm brick wall offset by a burst of fuchsia azaleas for example. She then translates her vision to canvas. Thanks to her husband’s career as an airline pilot, Sandra has fine-tuned her art in studios and classrooms around the globe: Britain, France, Italy, Hungary, Hong Kong, Japan---and Southern California, Miami, Denver and Chicago in the United States. At home in Savannah Betty Skinner and other well-known artists have mentored her talent. Inspired by images of roadsides, homes and the beautiful natural environment, Sandra transfers her personal observations (aided by her ever-present camera) into unique, dramatic paintings that reflect the delight and the exhilaration she feels every time she picks up her paintbrush. You will also note that a collection of her paintings even lean towards whimsical and primitive styles. A former Miami resident and teacher with advanced degrees from Florida International University, Sandra taught her special students to appreciate art in all its forms. Her desire is to share her visions and to instill her heartfelt joy of life.
