Annie S Sandano

Annie Sandano was born in Brazil and has lived between New Zealand and her home country for the past ten years. She has undertaken her art training on an international level: beginning in the U.S.A, where she attended the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. There she strengthened her skills in illustration, design and composition. Following this, Annie spent several months in Florence, Italy, where she studied Italian Renaissance art history, textile design, painting, and contemporary spatial design.

Upon her return to New Zealand, Annie attended Elam School of Fie Arts at the University of Auckland, where she spent her undergraduate years developing a solid conceptual foundation whilst consolidating technical printmaking skills with a strong focus on wood block prints.

After graduating, Annie has established herself as a practising contemporary limited edition printmaker and Fine Artist and works from Auckland and her studio in the Coromandel. She has had two successful solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous group exhibitions throughout New Zealand and the USA.

Annie is currently preparing works for exhibitions in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington and is represented by numerous New Zealand Galleries, one in Melbourne, Australia and one in Michigan, USA. Limited edition Fine Art prints created by Annie feature in collections in the USA, Switzerland, England, Canada, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and Japan.
