The library welcomes the public to view their October Art in the Library exhibit with artwork from oil painter, Sandra Cashman. Her artwork will be on display throughout the library during regular business hours. The public is invited to meet the artist during an Artist’s Reception on Saturday, October 26th from 12:30-2pm in the library. The event is free and refreshments will be served.

Sandra Cashman is an oil painter living in Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin. Growing up in the Hudson River Valley in New York, Sandy began painting at age 11 with encouragement from her mother and other artistic mentors. She passionately pursued art classes and workshops throughout her formal schooling and beyond.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and TV Production, she joined a promising young video production company, and spent 28 years as a managing partner at what became a leading Wisconsin advertising agency and production company. Her formal career took her to top golf courses throughout the country and she was moved to photograph and paint them. She received numerous commissions to paint “Top 100” courses, and soon became recognized in golf circles, where her art was featured in several golf publications.

Recently retired, Sandy and her husband and their two basset hounds now live on Little Manitowish Lake where she converted a horse barn into a dedicated art studio. She contributes her business skills to the local art community, as treasurer of the Manito Art League and member of the Northwoods Art Tour. An avid hiker, kayaker, gardener, chef and golfer, she feels she has finally come “home” to where she was always meant to be. Her focus today is to continue to be an “endless learner,” to grow and refine her skills as a painter, and to capture and share those magic moments that can only be found in Wisconsin’s beautiful Northwoods.
