Featured Artist: Sandy Haight | Fine Art

After earning a BFA in drawing and painting at the University of Colorado, establishing a career as an educational illustrator, self-publishing cookbooks, and then having two children in California, I began using watercolor in a life drawing class. I loved the luminosity of the paints so much that I went on to execute all sorts of conceptual illustration course assignments as watercolor paintings. After I moved to Seattle, I continued getting more and more familiar with the planning and execution of a painting while expanding my portfolio. Use of watercolor in my illustration work is now part of my signature style that has been contracted for use on book jackets, logos, advertising, events, posters, and in many publications all over the U.S. and in Canada.As a teacher now, I’m rediscovering the joys of building a nuanced painting, rich with built-up color and texture, as I launch my students into the process of creating watercolor art. In the last few years, I’ve narrowed my focus to the subject of flowers that I call Floralscapes. They represent the inner landscape of the bloom in an up-close and personal way.
