About
Born in Clifton, New Jersey Sandra Schuster began painting while in college, inspired by
frequent trips to New York City's museums and galleries. She earned her Bachelor of Arts
degree from Hood College and worked as the Director of Education for the Washington
County Museum of Fine Arts. In the early 90’s she opened a Fine Arts Studio in Maryland
working in oil, watercolor, and pencil. Balancing her love of studio arts and art history, she
taught painting and lectured on American Art. Over the years while she has focused more on
painting landscapes. Portrait work has also been a passion.
After a hiatus of a number of years, she is now working mainly in acrylic which she says
provides the permanency and luminosity of oil, and the immediacy of watercolor. Her work
has been displayed in many solo, group, and invitational exhibits in museums, galleries, and
universities. Winning numerous awards, Sandra Schuster's work has found its way into many
private, corporate, and museum collections. She currently travels and lives with her husband
in Western Maryland.
