Sandra Stowell: Artist & Maker

A personal hub

Sandra Stowell: Artist & Maker

This a doorway to whatever I publish online: my art, some other interesting activities, my family, and my history. Yes, it is mostly about me & mine.

My art was my daily focus for many years. I am older now, with the resulting struggles, but I still find some time for making. Of course not everything I make is a work of art!

Making Art

I am a mixed media artist & maker with just enough experience to be dangerous; there are so many ways to make art.

  • My Art Blog – short show & tell about work in progress
  • Selected Works – featuring current favorites & some ancient history
  • Art Gallery – a organized collection of images with very limited information

Building

I have been heavily involved in designing and building three homes: quite a shift from working with computers! There were many struggles along the way, but I had fun, gained confidence in my skills, and found my way back to making art.

  • Straw Bale Building – Our first custom home was a fabulous structural straw bale home.
  • SIP Construction – our second custom built home actually consists of two structural insulated panel (SIP) houses: the main house and the studio house.
  • The RoseWind Common House – many of us contributed to the design & construction of a lovely meeting & activity building.

Family & more
