Her drugs of choice were art galleries and museums.īigger Sandhi went to college for oceanography but degreed in psychology. Slightly older Sandhi ditched the classics to play rock music. Both of her parents were extremely talented artists in their own rights. Little Sandhi played the piano, took ballet, made puppets and learned to paint with oils. And it’s been copied since she started creating paper mosaic portraits from junk mail over 20 years ago. Sandhi doesn’t make art the way others do. Her work is a combination of long held interests. Although she has studied, practiced, perfected, played, dabbled, experimented - all of it has been outside the “regular” art world. ‘Golden’ means doing right, “stay gold” means remaining true to yourself. The meaning of the name: Sandhi Sanskrit: संधि means “junction” or “combination.” Schimmel German/Dutch: means a white or grey horse, or a gray haired person. Every work is inspired by something in Sandhi’s life, a dream, an epic poem, a legend, a belief, but mostly, her desire to create a beautiful image to share. Every work is made by recycling junk mail, postcards and other paper ephemera that may have ended up in a landfill. Every piece of paper is chosen purposely, hand-cut and hand-applied a junction of paint and paper. Every painting is an original that she has created. Sandhi Schimmel Gold’s work is a combination of techniques including Painting, Mosaic, Papier Collé and Collage.
