Sandra Ball Art

I received my formal art training at Richmond Professional Institute in Richmond, Virginia. I graduated with a BFA in 1965 concentrating on print making and painting.

I have a working studio in our home on Colington Island on the northern Outer Banks of North Carolina. My work is in numerous private collections and is available locally on the Outer Banks at Cloud Nine in Pirates Quay Shopping Center, Nags Head just south of Mile Post 11 on the right.

In nine days I designed and completed on canvas fourteen full color life size Stations of the Cross for St Andrew's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Nags Head North Carolina. Trimmed in simple gold braid, the arched shape canvases mirror the plain glass windows of the original chapel. Hung between the windows on the all wood bead board walls, six on each side and two at the back of the sanctuary, the stations bring alive Christ's final journey. Viewable during Lent, you are welcome to stop by anytime day or night.

I have written and illustrated and privately published a chapter book series called Wellington Rabbit. I illustrated a story book written by Donna Deekens for the History Press about Santaland at Miller & Rhoads Department Store in Richmond, Virginia. I continued the story thread with a privately printed book called Rudolph Joins Santaland available for viewing on Shutterfly.

Glenn Eure of Ghost Fleet Gallery is a good friend. Glenn, Jason Hill, Bruce Frazier and I put together the largest ever for our area collagraph print show. One of my pieces from that show was juried into the first Art of the Auction for the North Carolina Museum of Art.
