Sandy Merritt

Sandy’s love of painting began in grade school after winning a poster contest. Her mother made sure to encourage her by sending her to the Detroit Art Institute for lessons. 

 

Over the years she took classes at Wayne State University and Cranbrook Art Institute. When she moved to SaddleBrooke, she continued to explore her artistic interests. Through CAC classes and art guild classes, she expanded her use of color and shapes allowing her to paint different subjects. With each new challenge her confidence grew.

 

She’s eclectic in her subject matter painting everything from cactus, flowers and rocks, to painting horses, bobcats and Japanese geishas. There’s always some indefinable quality inherent in a subject that attracts her eye.
