Sandy Delehanty

Sandy says, “Watercolor workshops should be fun, not intimidating. We laugh a lot in my classes.” She combines an enthusiasm for watercolors, and boundless energy to make her classes enjoyable. Sandy’s step-by-step teaching approach, sprinkled with a sense of humor helps students gain confidence as well as new skills.

A gallery owner once described Sandy’s colors as “exuberant”. Sandy admits color is her passion. “But it is value that adds the drama”, she reminds us.
