Award-winning artist, wife, mother, dance instructor, and Franklin Park resident Sandra Reibscheid works in watercolor and oil. After 10 years as an actress in professional theatre, then 2.5 years designing window and store displays, she started studying art. With a BA from Michigan State University, she also studied at the American Academy of Art and with Pat Olsen in Chicago. Sandra comments: "There are many approaches one can take to express and make a statement in art. Coming from a theatre background, I find constant parallels between theatre--the drama of life--and art. I seek to raise questions, record life, provoke emotional responses, provide a fresh eye, and, above all, entertain."
