Sandra Jabaut is fascinated by the rich subject matter and illusion of light. Her traditional paintings depict realism in nature, portraits, architecture and animals. She has expanded her
subject matter to include whimsical horses with decorative hats and surrealistic paintings inspired by the divine. After joining the Adirondack Plein Air Society in 2014, she has begun to explore other painting techniques and styles that reflect her desire to grow as an artist.

Sandra was born in 1955 and raised in Elgin, Illinois, graduated from the Southern Illinois University and received her graduate degree from Castleton State College in Vermont. She taught art in Southern Illinois, several New York schools and ended her career at Queensbury elementary and high school from 1981-2014. Now retired, she focuses on traveling and painting. She has just begun to exhibit her works throughout the area where she lives. Sandra has paintings in private collections all over the world.
