Freelance artist Sandra McCall has been making art since
majoring in commercial art. She quickly decided that the field was too
restrictive for her and began working in multi-medium art and
assemblage while paying the bills with a job as an accountant. She
began making her original drawings and eraser carvings into rubber
stamps and eventually found a whole new career. Today, Sandy has
authored three books, created instructional DVDs, designs new projects
and teaches rubberstamping.
