The Artist
Sandy Harrington is a native Floridian and has painted for as long as she can remember. Her background as an artist began in illustration and advertising for the Daytona Beach News Journal and Hurd Moss Advertising in Daytona Beach, Florida.
During this time, her clients included Fairgreen Golf and Country Club (New Smyrna Beach), Old Salty’s Inn Daytona, The Daytona Inn, I-Care Child Abuse Campaign, Pine Trail Elementary School, O’Connell’s Restaurant (New Smyrna Beach), and the Bentwood Subdivision (Port Orange, Florida).
After raising a family, Sandy worked with Volusia County School’s theatre departments. She produced large-scale murals, costumes, and scenic design for the Children’s Musical Theatre in Ormond Beach, Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, and Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach.
Since retiring to Jacksonville in 2014, Sandy has continued to experiment with inks.
Artist Description of Work:
The focus of my work is ink and watercolor. Both water-based acrylic ink and alcohol based. I am attracted to the vivid color and the unpredictable way it moves around on the paper. I use acrylic inks on watercolor canvas and synthetic paper for my alcohol ink work. I use Grafix, Revlar, and Yupo for my paper work under plexiglass. My artwork style is wet on wet. Dropping wet color onto wet paper to create soft, washy effects. There is little control using this medium, so I let the ink do unpredictable things.
