Sandy Webster is a women who began basketry as her first subject in art. She makes many different types of pieces now, but bellow are examples of her mixed media work. Sandy Webster also makes paintings, drawings, and involves herself with print making. She started off in the basketry department of art, and then realised that she couldn't tell all of her stories through her basketry art work. When she decided to create other art work she put her basketry pieces aside and began to focus on art that could show her feelings with theyu way you see it and the way it was built. Sandy Webster was raised to recycle, which may be one of the reasons why she enjoys mixed media designs.
