Sandy Hubler makes expressive use of her oil paints, rendering landscapes with intense color combinations that appear to move across the canvas. One of the hallmarks of Sandy’s paintings is the deeply colored and foreboding atmosphere in her stormy skies. Her large paintings achieve further depth through her heavy brush strokes and textured surfaces.
Of her early beginnings, she says, “I have always been attracted to art. When I was a little girl my father nicknamed me Doodles, which stuck with me throughout his entire life. I would doodle on anything; books, papers, napkins, etc.”
Hubler studied art at Arkansas State University. But her career and life in art took a 22 year detour with other careers. However, she finally could no longer resist her true calling and she returned to her first love – Making Art.
The artist states, “I prefer to paint outside as a Plein Air Artist for my smaller landscape paintings, I so love the beauty of natural settings. Some of my favorite landscapes are Spring and Fall in the Ozarks.” Sandy also paints very large paintings ranging in several feet in size. These paintings are done in her home studio. She is always trying to match the perfect setting with the perfect canvas for the perfect painting.
In her spare -time, she pursues her second love, horses. She competes in barrel races through out the Mid-south on her horses, Thumper, Favors and Sarge.
Sandy states, “I am so lucky, I do what I love and love what I do, what on this earth could be more fulfilling?”
