Sandy Waters
Suffolk, VA Artist

Welcome to my website!  I am so glad you found me here.  I'm just getting back from a wonderful week in France where we painted, ate, and drank the local wines throughout the countryside.  It was my second visit to the Puy-l'Eveque area where a potential painting was around every turn!  Now, to clean up some of the pieces I painted there!

Upon my return home, I was asked by the City of Suffolk, VA to do a painting of our city's Obici-Oderzo Fountain that was given to us by our Sister City of Oderzo, Italy in 2003.  Oderzo is the birthplace of Amedeo Obici, the founder of Planter Peanuts, who built a processing plant in Suffolk, VA in 1913.  He and his wife, Louise, moved to Suffolk in 1924. (wikipedia)  The painting was given as part of a gift to the City of Oderzo at a re-dedication ceremony at the end of July, 2024.

As a resident artist at the Smithfield Arts Center@319, I'm enjoying meeting people from around the area, the state, the country, and the world!  Many people visit the historic town, so my studio space is a great place to share my art and talk art with visitors.  I've started teaching workshops in what is called "paper-painting," using acrylic paints, colorful papers, and other materials to create works of art.  

If you are interested in a piece, please contact me.  To view all the artwork I still have available for sale, please use the AVAILABLE link.  Some pieces may be at area galleries--I can let you know if that is the case.

Some of the more recent pieces are, or will be, available through the Arts Center@319 in Smithfield, VA, The Smithfield Center, the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts, the Suffolk Art Gallery, the Beach Gallery on Laskin Road (VAB), Jo Louise's Pop Up Shop in Newport News, VA., and The Pinner House, downtown Suffolk.
