Sandra Batzli is a watercolor artist above all. She has shown and received commissions throughout the Midwest. She is also a teacher and lecturer.

artist statement:
Luxuriating in timelessness.
Using the right side of my brain.
Tuning in and out this world of ours.
Expressing myself with watercolor and pastel.
Roads, paths and boat docks often appear on the paper.
As in all my travels, my work takes many turns.
