Bio:
Sandra J
Quintus is a multi-talented artist who is capable, creative, and
enthusiastic.
As a young girl
she was always drawing. She completed her
first oil painting at age 12 and her first fine art mural at
20. Sandra continues to work primarily in artist’s oils on
canvas, linen or primed boards, and walls. She works from life,
either in the field “en plein aire” or in the studio from a
model, however, she also uses photos as references.
Sandra is a juried member of Oil Painter’s of America and The
American Academy of Women Artists.
Her “Artistic
Walls” company continues to beautify homes in Northern Iowa and
Southern Minnesota with gorgeous customized professional quality
faux finishes. She has won numerous national awards for her
murals, stenciling, and Trompe L'Oeil wall images.
What Artistic Walls Customers Are Saying:
“It is now my favorite room in the
house!” Mrs. Pat Meints, Clear Lake, IA.
“Now that I have seen what faux finishes do to a room, straight
painting just doesn’t cut it!” Mrs. Terri Mumm, Clear Lake, IA.
“The grandchildren like to touch the napkin (in the painting)
and ask, ‘Is it real, grandma?” Mrs. Beverly Cataldo, Garner,
IA.
“Our new wall finish looks so elegant and accents our
furnishings so nicely!” Mr. and Mrs. Richard Grunwald, Garner,
IA. “We also want to compliment your crew for their
professionalism-people you can be proud to have working for
you.”

“The way in which you handle the paint is so delicate and
sensitive (without ever being fussy or precious).
Your coffee dreamer is beautiful! The figure has such believable
weight to her. You can sense the pressure of her hand on the
column. Great understanding of the human form.
The combination of classical/allegorical setting and
contemporary clothing is a very nice one! Really, really
lovely!!!”
