SANDY GATLIN

I have been surrounded by talented artists my entire life—my father, my husband Jim, and my son Alex—but becoming part of the Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery has taken my journey to a new level. Being immersed in this group of professional artists has broadened my scope of knowledge, understanding, and love of art. Now, as General Manager of the Gallery, I not only continue to grow as an artist but also have the joy of motivating and inspiring others within this vibrant community.

I am an abstract artist who has found joy and happiness at the end of a palette knife or brush. Through color, texture, intuition, and imagination, I explore my own abstract journey. Being part of the gallery has enriched my work—my colors are brighter, my paint feels purer, and my skill has sharpened. Each piece I create is infused with energy and the spirit of growth, reflecting the joy I find in creating.

I am inspired by the people and community around me. The artists I work alongside at the Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery challenge me, motivate me, and fill me with creative energy. Their presence inspires me to push further into my own artistic expression. Ultimately, inspiration comes from the freedom of abstract work itself—the ability to let intuition lead, to trust imagination, and to find happiness in the process of painting.
