Sandra Duran Wilson

Sandra Duran Wilson is a fourth-generation artist. Her Mother's relatives were artists and come from Mexico, Spain, and Italy. Sandra's early years were spent on the border of Mexico where the people, animals, landscape, drama of the religious rituals, and stories of the curanderas shaped her reality.

Sandra's father and his relatives were physicians and scientists and they nurtured her love of science. Making her paints and paper from materials found in Nature is a direct result of this passion. She has degrees in both Fine Art and Science. "I have always loved to mix things up and this has nurtured my art explorations".

This combination of art and experimentation led to the creation of the first art technique book, Image Transfer Workshop. Surface Treatment Workshop, Mixed Media Revolution and Alternative Art Surfaces followed. Her fifth book, Acrylic Painting for Acrylic Effects has been widely embraced by both acrylic and encaustic painters. Her sixth book is due out in October 2018. She paints and lives in Santa Fe, NM and her art is in international public, corporate and private collections. She teaches workshops in the US and internationally.
