Sandy Sparks - I was born in a small town in Kansas. Met and married the man of my dreams, Colonel Ralph Sparks, retired. We have been married for 31 wonderful years. I have two children, Kelly Beasley, married and living in Wilmington, NC., and Steven who is attending The University of Alabama. When we moved to Madison, Al in 2011, I was introduced to the Huntsville art world by walking into 16 Main, Madison. I was welcomed with open arms and was invited to paint a six foot butterfly for the Huntsville Botanical Gardens. After that I met wonderful artists in the community. I am an 12 year Breast Cancer Survivor and a big advocate of anything that contributes to finding a cure and helping others with this awful disease. I am an active member of The Painted Bra Project. I currently have my work displayed and is for purchase at the Red Stone Arsenal Exchange Gallery , XstudioX Gallery. I work in several media, techniques, and textiles in my home studio. I work with watercolors, acrylics, graphite pencils, colored pencils, chalk pastels, foam sculpting, glass etching, textural treatments, sewing, and wood burning. Facebook
