A California native, Sandra happily calls Manhattan (her city of choice for the last several decades) home. Enjoying an enduring passion for the theatre, her plays have been produced in several off-off Broadway venues, and an original drama for television was produced by the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference. Her journalism credits include among others, reviews and profiles for Our Town, A Manhattan Weekly, The New Orleans Review, and Show Business Weekly. She is currently at work on a novel about cinematic illusions and a collection of stories about women in unfamiliar landscapes. Her paintings were featured in the opening exhibition this year at the Seti Gallery in Kent, CT. She believes every subject finds its medium—film, fiction, theatre, fine art—and she loves the journey. An inveterate traveler, she still finds stimulation and surprise in New York, and her cat Pazza, her greatest inspiration.
