​
Sandra Burke received her Accounting Degree from the Business School at Indiana University. Her influence from her talented Grandma inspired her to pursue her passion for painting.
She has enjoyed learning to paint with oils from Penny Roberson and joined Cy Donnelly to teach the Adult Oil Classes at The Art Studio of Carmel where she currently has her studio space.
She has been very fortunate to enjoy the beauty of Deb Slack’s art through her friendship, classes and workshops and has enjoyed learning and painting with her fellow fine art friend Lisa Macha and others as a part of her artist community. 
Sandy is blessed with a wonderful husband, two incredible children, and loving sisters, family and friends who have always supported her new art career. 
She loves painting many different styles, using brushes and palette knives, but her favorite love of all is her attempt to bring happiness to others, through her art.
