Sandra Lee Cooper, founder of Sandy Lee Artistry, is recognised as an Australian Racing Hall of Fame Artist, specialising in bespoke equestrian, pet and portrait commissions. 

​

The majority of Sandy Lee’s work uses oil as her medium, but she also dabbles in water colour, gouache, and graphite. This exhibition, ‘Resilience’, showcases all the mediums and subjects mentioned above. 

​

Since childhood, Sandy Lee enjoyed drawing as a regular art form, and her style developed into being able to recreate realism as her style but never ventured into art as her career. 

​

After about 30 years working a corporate lifestyle, Sandra was inspired to study at the ‘Art School Co.’ for three years and maintained regular practice of her skills; which is now evident in her style and skill for realism as seen today. 

​

Sandra now works full-time as a professional artist whose work is recognised throughout Australia’s racing and equestrian scene, and most of her pieces are through custom orders. 

​

‘Resilience’, which is Sandy Lee’s first solo and gallery exhibition, showcases equestrian pieces, wild animals, human portraits and wild horses, plus landscape scenes. 

​

Sandy Lee paints the word ‘RESILIENCE’ on each painting before layering the paints on; which often becomes covered or sometimes shows glimmers through at completion of the artwork.

​

She says: “Most people will never see it. But I know it's there. It's my reminder to trust the process, embrace the challenge and never give up.”

​

Every painting created by Sandy Lee Artistry is guided by a simple belief: “Every story deserves to be remembered.”

​

For this exhibition at Gayndah, Sandy Lee has provided a collection of originals for sale, as well as some framed prints for sale, plus a range of unframed prints, signed and reasonably priced. 

​

If you’re a die-hard racing fan, an animal lover, or have an appreciation for realism, this display is not to be missed. 

​

Doors open for ‘Resilience’ on Tuesday 20th October, until Sunday 13th December with a planned event on Saturday 21st November, 5pm, at the Art Gallery.
