WELCOME to the JOY OF CREATION (online studio)! My name is Sandra and I am an Upholsterer and Textile Artist. I was born in Peru in 1972 and immigrated to the United States with my family in 1978. I was naturalized as a US Citizen in the 1990s and graduated from Penn State University with a BA in Integrative Arts (Architecture Design) and with minors in Architectural History and Sociology in 1995. 

As a Textile Artist I enjoy teaching others within the art process of discovering, exploring, and enjoying all things ALCHEMY. Alchemy means transformation. As you have seen through our social feed and website I have had the honor to recreate, restore and reupholster beautiful one-of-a-kind family treasures for over 10 years. This blessing of bringing people JOY through the process of CREATION is one that I NOW am offering to others to join me in through my online studio. I have titled the online sudio "JOY OF CREATION" because it serves as an extension of my love for taking the old, the remanants, the forgotten and the new to create items that become family treasures to share with others and include in my personal creative storytellilng process. 

If you have been looking to learn more about textile art and the process of creating unique authentic artwork that speaks of your personal story of JOY then join my in my online studio (a private group through FB) that I will be launching in August. I am limiting it to just 10 people to start so I can best be available to answer student questions and provide my best content and goodies to share with you.
