Artists Personal History
Sandra Robbins is a native Californian, born in Southern California just east of Los Angeles. She attended college at USC and UCLA and was married shortly after college. She has two grown children. Her daughter lives in Santa Monica and her son in Marin County in Northern California.
Sandra says her first career was being a homemaker and raising her perfect children. Shortly after her divorce she entered the business world working as a real estate broker, venture capitalist and a small business owner, this was her second career that has lasted over 25 years.
She began actively working with sculpture in the early 1970s when she found the first teacher who inspired her. She would take additional classes and whenever she could fit them in among her first two careers. By 1990 she met a second inspirational teacher, who she still works with, in San Francisco and she began showing her work.
Sandra has studied marble sculpting in Greece and Italy as well as always being faithful to her first love, working with clay. She is currently expanding her clay work to include metal and found materials within the clay.
Sandra splits her time between a home/studio in Santa Monica and a houseboat in Sausalito.
