Ever since Sandy Kastel, at the age of 4 began drawing in sketch pads in her living room in Mesquite, TX, she has had a commitment to art that has flourished. Throughout her life and career in music Sandy’s exploration and passion for keeping journals included her drawings of bits and pieces of her life, the landscapes she visited and the architectural features, faces and moments in the lives of people she observed on her travels. In the eighties Sandy’s sketches of fashions from around the world encouraged her design young men’s clothing in Los Angeles and when she bought her first home it was her designing skills that inspired her to renovate and later build her homes. In 1998, however, it was her interest in sculpting that attracted Sandy’s attention and it was here that her sketches of women went from the two dimensional sketches into the three dimensional sculptures of her original interpretations of Egyptian Princesses, High Priestesses and Pharoahs. Even though Sandy had never travelled to Egypt, her openness to discover to sculptures transcended her experience, as notated by Egyptologists who examined the bronzes at art shows and exhibits. Sandy’s sculptures are included in private art collections around the world and have been juried into art shows and showcased in art galleries in the United States.
