November Artist of the Month Opening Reception – Sandra Drabant

November 2026 Artist of the Month: Sandra Drabant Exhibit Title: Where the Brush Leads: Spontaneous and Intuitive Paintings Sandra Drabant earned a BA in Fine Art and a Graduate Diploma in Education in Australia, followed by a Master’s in Art Therapy from the University of Illinois Chicago. She currently works as an art therapist at Michigan Medicine and has exhibited in solo and group shows in Australia and the United States. Artist Statement This body of work is a series of paintings that evolved from an intuitive process. My paintings take shape without any predetermined plan and develop by spontaneous response and choice, often relying on my instincts to guide the work. This process is creatively freeing as there is no “right or wrong”, just what intuitively feels harmonious to me in the moment. These paintings are layered canvases of color and texture. The surprise of this intuitive process is an engaging and imaginative experience that has revealed images of nature, symbolizing concepts such as growth, change, life, death, spirituality and the passage of time.
