Sandra Cherk

For those of you also missing the Open Studio tour, I will be open for private visits, with lots of gift items on display. I am also offering 15% off original pastels. Please contact me for more details.

The inspiration for my work is the spectacular environment where I live. I paint the coastline, hills and mountains, both here in Santa Cruz, and also on the mainland of Greece. I work with soft pastels, both in the studio (which may be outdoors), and en plein air striving to create peaceful scenes that the viewer can enter.

Since covid-19, I've also had time to explore other media, so there are a few gouache pieces, too!

I sell my original pastels, as well as gicleé prints, greeting cards and printed tile magnets and trivets. I also teach small workshops. Please contact me if you have any questions about my art, or if you would like me to organize a studio visit or workshop!
