I celebrate the simplicity of everyday living, including children, houses, landscapes, and flowers in my watercolour paintings. I love the tangible, lasting result of a successfully completed painting – a symbol of things that last in an ever-changing world.
Sandra MacPherson has been working with watercolours since 1992.
Largely self-taught, she has studied at the Ontario College of Art & Design and with various professional artists. Her portfolio of watercolour and acrylic paintings includes landscapes, buildings, floral, still life, and figurative works. She loves the tangible, lasting result of a successfully completed painting.
Known for creating artwork that expresses the warmth of home and community, Sandra is often commissioned to paint “house portraits” for people wishing to give them as gifts to family and friends. Her tiny 5 x 7 painting, “Peonies”, a watercolour created for a wedding invitation, is included in the permanent art collection at the historic Heintzman House in Thornhill.
Sandra is a member of Scugog Arts and a participant in the Lake Scugog Studio Tour and the Coldwater and Area Studio Tour. She is a member of the Port Perry Artists’ Association and has been an associate member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, Past-President of the Willowdale Group of Artists, and a member of Toronto Watercolour Society. She participates in both group and solo shows in York Region, Scugog, Huronia, Parry Sound, and Toronto. Sandra’s artwork is included in private and corporate collections across Canada.
