Sandra Gittleman paints vibrant reflections of beauty, nature, and virtue that are infused with meaningful messaging meant to elevate culture, celebrate life, and humanity. Her core belief is that creativity is a gift from God intended to bless people and the world. The hallmark of her style is a distinctive palette of saturated COLOR with an emphasis of LIGHT painted in elegant impressionistic realism. Born and raised in Western Massachusetts, Sandra’s art career began as a graphic artist for AT&T while attending night school to study art. She graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA, married Stuart Gittleman, and moved to GA. Her love for oil painting emerged while living in Atlanta, studying techniques of the Old Masters at the award-winning DiDomizio Arts Center in Buckhead. Creativity in many expressions, especially painting, was a constant part of her life during seasons of motherhood, employment, and relocation. This included live-painting performances, hosting creative conferences, gallery entries, and serving schools and ministries. This wide range of experience was indispensable as an art teacher at Community School of Davidson, Davidson, NC, instructing hundreds of students in a variety of mediums. In 2021, she launched Sandra’s ART Studio on South Main Street in Cornelius, NC, where she paints for galleries and commissions, hosts studio events, and teaches art. Her work is available at her studio, online at www.vinedressercollection.com, and at the Juelerye Artisan Gallery in Mooresville, NC. Sandra’s paintings reside in numerous private and public collections in the USA and Canada.
