The Artistry of Sandra Palmer

Sandra's Story: Tole painting was my world for years; I even cut my own wood. Then five years ago seeing some gourds in a book, and thought hey I can paint on them also. I had to find out what they were and where to get them. I have found I love in burning and carving on them. My husband helps me out and gives me that push when I need one, thank goodness. We have two grown children, 5 grand kids, and two very rotten 4-legged kids. We have lived in Washington for 12 years now to be close to family.
