“…to paint like a bird sings”
A landscape oil painter living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Sandra Deacon continues to be inspired by a love of trees, rivers, and mountains, and more recently she is inspired by the beauty of rural Northern New Mexico. The paintings of Paul Cezanne, Richard Diebenkorn, Nicolas de Staël as well as some brilliant local painters influence her work as well.
Her focus is both on vibrant color and loose brushwork as well as honoring an initial response to a stunningly beautiful landscape. She continues to explore a minimalist approach to painting that combines spontaneous mark making and non-representational color choices as well as formal considerations of design and value.
Selling her work at local art fairs in Northern New Mexico, she enjoys the experience of having her paintings’ purchase remain a personal matter between herself and the person or family — the art buyer often staying in touch and sending photos of the art in their home. Her work is also available on her website store: https://www.sandradeacon.com/store
Sandra studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Art Institute of Boston, and the River Gallery School Brattleboro, Vermont. She has a degree in. English Literature from UCLA and a year of graduate study at UCBerkely.
FAQs
Paintings are almost all oil on cotton canvas, stretched, splined on wooden stretcher bars, almost all 1.5” deep. Many are square. Most are not varnished by my preference. Paintings are painted on the sides, they are wired for hanging, and do not require framing, although I can provide maple floater frames for the paintings if you want for a small additional price.
