Artist Bio

Sandra Ellis was born in Pembroke, Petawawa, and grew up as an army brat, moving around frequently. As an adult, she was fortunate to travel to many places to paint and teach internationally.

Sandra had a 40-year career as a designer and draftswoman while teaching as a professor in the Engineering Technologies Department at St. Clair College for 33 years. She has since retired from teaching to devote more time to her passion for painting, while always maintaining her heart and hand in art.

Her work has been exhibited throughout Windsor and Essex County, including at Sho Studios, Carnegie Arts Centre, Leamington Arts Centre, and Gibson Gallery. She is a member of the Association of Representational Artists and the Windsor and Essex County Plein Air Association.

Artist Statement

The love of the built environment within nature is of great importance as subject matter for my art. Within that is the preservation of both those subjects.

Bringing attention to both these areas simultaneously through art allows a visual presentation that hopefully inspires an understanding of what we care for and what we put effort toward saving. It also expresses how we live within our environment and how we interact with it.
