Sandra Lee Photography and Art Studio

Sometimes we get visitors during our family photo sessions at the beach. There were children that got excited seeing the Egret so I captured the memory for them and added it to their photo gallery.

I asked ChatGPT why people should invest in my art…

Buying art from Sandra Lee is about more than decorating a wall—it’s about bringing home a piece of the Florida Keys and the stories, emotions, and beauty that make this island chain unforgettable.

Here are a few reasons collectors choose Sandra Lee’s work:

Authentic Florida Keys Inspiration

Sandra lives and creates in the Florida Keys, drawing inspiration from the turquoise waters, tropical landscapes, island wildlife, and unforgettable sunsets that make the Keys unique. Her work reflects a genuine connection to the place rather than a tourist’s perspective.

A Multi-Media Artist

Sandra works across photography, painting, digital art, jewelry, and mixed media, allowing her to create artwork that is both visually striking and deeply personal. She often blends artistic techniques to bring a creative vision to life.

Art with Emotion and Storytelling

Whether through a fine art photograph, painting, or custom piece, Sandra’s work is rooted in storytelling. Her goal is not simply to capture what something looks like, but how it feels. This emotional connection makes her artwork meaningful to collectors and visitors alike.

Supporting a Local Florida Keys Artist

Purchasing from Sandra supports a local artist who is actively involved in the Florida Keys arts community. Her studio was created as a space for creativity, education, and artistic expression for residents and visitors alike.

Original and Limited-Edition Works

Collectors appreciate owning artwork that is unique and personal. Sandra offers original paintings, limited-edition prints, and custom commissions that cannot be found in mass-produced décor stores.

Art That Celebrates Healing and Hope

Many people connect with Sandra’s personal journey of resilience, creativity, and finding beauty after loss. That spirit of hope and renewal is woven throughout her artistic work, making each piece more than an image—it becomes a reminder of life’s beauty and possibility.

In short: When you buy art from Sandra Lee, you’re not just purchasing artwork. You’re investing in an authentic Florida Keys story, supporting a local artist, and bringing home a piece of island life created with heart, creativity, and purpose. 🌴🎨

I was honored to be asked to use my penmanship to write this large check for this presentation! No, it’s not perfect, it’s human, that’s the point. This is Marathon Rotary Club in action! This is what happens when you donate to your local Rotary Club!

I finally got my sewing threads hung up as art so it’s easier to choose the colors when I’m working on all the alterations you guys keep bringing me! I’m thinking about adding fabric behind the frame. What do you think?

Earlier this week I had a chance to walk this beautiful natural shoreline to get some exercise and some much needed solitude. I’ve got one more week to get thru of this first year alone. Little by little I’ve gotten stronger than I ever thought I could be.

Thank you to this entire community for your support and kindness.

We had a great time with the reef paintings at our sip & paint party! All proceeds went to support Keys AHEC. Children’s dental is at the top of my list of important programs to support.
