Sandra Kessel

“The real voyage of discovery consists in seeing with new eyes” M. Proust
​
After I retired from a nursing career I pursued my lifelong love of art. My ”new eyes” were opened in my first botanical art class. I was in love with the subtle smallness of plants and their intricate detail and patterns. Living here in the Geneva Lake area the quiet beauty of Mother Nature surrounds me in all seasons. I work in watercolor, pen & ink, graphite and colored pencil My paintings have been exhibited in Gallery 223 Lake Geneva, Racine Art Museum, Woodson Art Museum, Carthage College, Lloyd Library in Cincinnati, Brushwood Center and Morton Arboretum in Illinois. I coordinated and participated in the Kishwauketoe Project 2018-2020 which received a financial grant from the American Society of
Botanical Artists. I am a member of Geneva Lake Arts Foundation, Reed-Turner Botanical Artists, and the American Society of Botanical Artists.
