SANDRA GUSTAFSON
#431
Ink & Gouache
Sandra Gustafson has been exhibiting art in Des Moines for over 25 years. Originally working with large acrylic abstracts, she transitioned to smaller gouache and ink pieces 16 years ago while on bed rest during her pregnancy. Limited space and materials led her to develop a style reflecting her experience—layering tape, water, and ink to reveal organic, intuitive forms. Her ethereal work invites personal interpretation. In addition to creating in her studio, Sandra teaches workshops to help others tap into their creative potential. She also integrates art into her work as a realtor, gifting original pieces to clients and continuing to exhibit locally.
