"Ars Longa Vita Brevis" - Art is Long Life is Short
- Hippocrates

My greatest passion is to create unique and original visual enjoyment for others with the God given talent I have been given.

I wish to thank GOD for the talent he has given me. Without Him, nothing would be possible, and with Him, nothing is impossible. I serve the Lord through spiritual art, and by serving on the creative ministries team at my church, and by faithfully donating work to charitable causes.

I am currently working on a "Pray For Peace" series in order to bring awareness to the unnecessary unrest and discord that exists in our world today. Not enough emphasis is placed on living together harmoniously, respectfully, caringly, and peacefully with one another today..... and always.

I also wish to thank the wonderful support I have received from each and every one of my collectors that enable me to continue my life's passion.

Please take a few moments to browse my online portfolio by clicking on the portfolio tab above, where you can see some of my work, all of these have been sold to a diverse array of private collectors throughout the country and internationally.

Wishing you years of visual enjoyment...

Artfully yours, Sandra Urie, peace artist
