Dorothea Sandra

Born in Massachusetts / Works in Northern Michigan along Lake Huron

I am a prolific polymath painter. My range of artistic talent is broad, and I often blend it with science and other fields of study. From France to Hong Kong, my art has sold around the world. I am also the author of the book 100 Days of Happy Happy Art: Evidence-Based Design. My art is currently in 99 international art curations.

In 2026, I was awarded a three-month artist residency at the prestigious Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, China. In 2025, I was the featured artist at the 2025 SRI Sustainability Research and Innovation International Congress in Chicago. In 2024, I was interviewed by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine for my art and book titled 100 Days Of Happy Happy Art: Evidence-Based Design. My art has been on the cover of Healthcare Design Magazine and used in Condé Nast's House & Garden magazine. I am evidence-based design certified through the Center for Health Design.

In the short eight years I have been showing my art, I have sold over 1,000 paintings. My sizes range from 6'x9' to 11"x14". I paint what I want, but I also really enjoy creating commissioned artworks for others. My art hangs in hospitals, health centers, businesses, and homes. Cards featuring my art are also available at the Museum of Ojibwa Culture in St. Ignace, Michigan.

In my art, there are glimpses of my Northern Woodlands Native American ancestry, my childhood art training along the shores of Rockport, Massachusetts, my five years working in the anime industry in Tokyo, my love of people and the planet, and more.
