Sandi Gold is an award-winning artist who received her BFA from Boston University College of Visual Arts and, following study in Aix-En-Provence, France received a Certificat D’etude from the The Leo Marchutz School of Painting. Since that time she has been featured in The New York Times, People Magazine and The Boston Globe among others and has been interviewed on both the Connecticut and National Public Radio discussing her artwork. Sandi has also been profiled on ABC’s TV news show 20/20 after erasing her sixty-three foot mural titled “The Temple of The Soul” to illustrate her appreciation for life and to inspire others to appreciate theirs after doctors diagnosed her with an inoperable brain tumor and told her she had less than a year to live. Having outlived these predictions by over two decades, Sandi’s artwork demonstrates a depth and understanding, “a falling in love with life: It’s not the length of time we live, but the depth of our appreciation for our lives that helps us to live more fully.”

Sandi has successfully completed the Professional Training and Certification Program at The Institute for the Expressive Arts at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI., studied with Stewart Cubley, author of Life, Paint and Passion, Aviva Gold, author of Painting From The Source, Barbara Ganim, author of Art and Healing, Using Expressive Arts To Heal Your Soul, Sue Fox and Barbara Ganim, who wrote Visual Journeying, Going Deeper Than Words To Give Voice To Your Soul, and Michael Samuels, MD., the leading pioneer in bringing art into hospitals in the U.S. Sandi is also certified as a Holistic Health Instructor. Wanting to teach others what she has learned, Sandi has taught "Art and Healing" classes for hospitals and clinics and has been asked to be a keynote speaker both nationally and internationally demonstrating how art helps to heal and improve our lives and to live more fully. Sandi was nominated for the National Athena Award in 2008.

Sandi has been honored by having been given a Citation from The Rhode Island House of Representatives as well as a Senate Citation in recognition for “her valuable contributions to the Town of Westerly through her art work.” Because of her desire to bring more art into her community and enable her fellow artists to have a place to display their art, Sandi Gold co-founded The Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly, Inc. which has had a new show and an opening every month since 1992. This gallery was a major influence prompting state legislators to provide sales tax exemptions for art sold in downtown Westerly.
