Sandy Askey-Adams, a Signature Member of the prestigious Pastel Society of America and the Pastel Society of Maryland, relishes the moments she spends taking walks through nature. Through her art, she invites viewers to come along on those forays of serenity and peace through “the serene greens of summer, the sweet blossoms of spring, the gold and rusts of autumn, and even the blue and purplish grays of winter.”
Sandy sees the natural environment as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Just gazing at a tree with its serpentine twists and turns is an exciting moment that can stir her soul, she says. She believes that her love of the land may stem from being born in the country. As a young child she adored walking through the woods and in the mountains surrounding her home.
Sandy still remembers with fondness the rippling streams, brooks and creeks she saw along the way. It was the beginning of a deep appreciation for the landscape and its many moods, colors, and sounds and especially for the serenity and tranquility of nature.
She has won national, regional and local awards. Has also won a Bronze medal in a national art show, and her work has been accepted into international art competitions. Her art has also been featured and published in several national art magazines, including The Pastel Journal, and Southwest Art Magazine, as well as others. Also, her work has been featured and published in several art books—Artists Homes and Studios, Artists of the Mid-Atlantic, Best of America-Pastel Artists, Best of Worldwide Landscape Artists, and in 2008 the Bucks County Town & Country Living, magazine.
Sandy says, “My forever challenge is to interpret and offer the impression of what stirs my soul, so that, I hope, it will stir the viewer's soul with a feeling of serenity and peace. I want the viewer to be moved by my work. Each day I strive to learn and understand more so as to do a better painting than yesterday. I am grateful for this gift from God ... and it is my gift to share with others.”
