Sandy Stevens is an oil painter whose work captures the divine essence of Hawaiʻi. Her work reflects a deep love of nature and painting en plein air (outdoors), while exploring the beauty, strength, and wonder of the islands through luminous color and expressive brushwork.

After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Art Education from Southern Illinois University, Sandy began a teaching career that has spanned public, private, and international schools. Her journey has taken her from Carbondale, Illinois, to Kansas City, Kansas, to San Francisco, California, and ultimately to her happiest place of all—Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.

She lives on the lush, windward side of Oʻahu, where the vibrant colors of Hawaiʻi's flora, the ever-changing ocean, and the island's golden light continually inspire her creative practice. Her paintings have been described as playful, vibrant, and imaginative, distinguished by radiant color palettes and layers of soft, angular brushstrokes.

While visually joyful, Sandy's work explores deeper themes of spirituality and womanhood. Her current collection, Divine Essence, explores our interconnection with nature, spiritual symbolism of plants, and the wisdom carried by the Divine Feminine.

For Sandy, painting is a process of alchemizing life's experiences into imagery that invites reflection, healing, and wonder. She hopes her work reconnects viewers with their own innate wisdom, creating what she describes as "visual medicine that nurtures the soul and heart."
