Artist Statement:
I studied art at
Fairhaven College--Western
Washington University,
Washington State. This area is
where unnumbered greens of
creation hiccup textures
across and through the pearl
mists of winter rains and
vibrantly whisper those colors
into spring where can hide
them until dawn kisses them
awake! This is where the
lightest shades of greens
blanket the mountains down to
the cool, blue waters' edges.
Here, new color rhythms
shape and shift the lay of the
land's shadows. Some colors
and textures are very short
lived. Hill and valley scenes
travel through their life
cycles quickly--to look away
for a moment is to lose the
visual transition of the
colors and the textures into
their next level of awe.
Therefore, I use many
greens and blues in my
paintings. I may not start out
intentionally using those
colors, but I tend to conclude
my work with them. Another
group of colors in my
paintings include light
creams, taupes, and whites
misting and mingling in with
the bright colors the way the
mists weave in and out of the
hills and trees--those mists
that dance circles around the
Northwest Mountains and bays.
Another important voice
to me is Water...

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Three of my elementary school teachers were my biggest inspirations in art. They encouraged me to keep drawing, painting, seeking, and learning even when I wasn't in school. Foremost was Miss Goddard, Teilman Elementary, Fresno, CA. She would clean out her classroom cupboards of art and paper supplies at the end of every school year and take them to my family home so that we would have plenty of art supplies to see us through the summer. She continued to gift us with those supplies until I got married and moved away from my home town. Besides that, if I did run out of those pencils and paper, I used the dirt in our yard as my paper, a stick as my pencil, and water to develop my values and tones. Thank you Miss Goddard, I loved your love for us. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
We, the viewers of art, know what captures our hearts and minds. You know IT when you see IT, when you feel IT kiss the back of your heart. You connect to IT. You want IT, and IT wants you back.
Working in fine art makes my heart hungry for spiritual satisfaction. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Sanborn works with photography and paints. Sanborn studied fine art at Fairhaven College on the campus of Western Washington University with artist teachers who spanned large segments of the arts arena.
While attending Fairhaven College, Sanborn had the privilege of working with guest artist, Katsumi Murakami from Japan (along with fellow student artists) to assist in creating the welded sculpture, 'Why Are We Here?' The sculpture was presented to Fairhaven College's Administration for installation at the conclusion of the learning experience.
Sanborn works with screenprints, linoleum prints, drawing, photography, book arts (box structures, pop up and paper engineering, journals, etc.),
writing, painting, collage, computer art; plus, Sanborn is on the watch for new media.
Sanborn kept her art showings local. Sanborn participated in the Washington State Arts Commission Arts Round Table for Bellingham, WA.
Sanborn received a Master of Education from City University of Seattle. As an elementary teacher, she looks for ways to simplify and detoxify art processes so that children will be able to create art with the least amount of old-world trappings. Sanborn also looks for ways of integrating arts into the lessons of the three R's and technology.
Sanborn welcomes works on consignment. |
