Sandy Winkelman

Sandy Winkelman blends wood burning (pyrography) and watercolor to celebrate the spirit of desert animals and landscapes. Each piece begins with the wood’s natural grain, which serves as a unique canvas. Inspired by the camouflage of wildlife, he burns intricate designs that reflect nature’s balance of survival and beauty. Watercolor adds warmth, depth, and dimension, evoking the rich colors of the Southwest. His work invites viewers to connect with the land, its creatures, and their timeless resilience.
