 Sandy Moser has had the desire and the need to paint and sketch for most of her life. She began painting in oils in 1970 and is basically a self-taught artist. As a teenager, she was able to take painting classes in the Adult Education Program, and now continues to attend many workshops from various art professionals. She has attended a week-long workshop in oils from Lloyd Pretty in Newfoundland, and has taken watercolor courses from Zoltan Szabo and Cheng Kee Chee. She has also finished a wildlife art correspondence course from North Light Art School. Sandy also paints with acrylics, gouache, egg tempera, pastels, dye on silk, scratchboard, as well as sketching in graphite and ink. She was also a teacher in the public school system for 20 years, while pursuing her art education. Her present focus is wildlife art and she has been studying with wildlife artist Ron Decker for two years.
