She taught fine arts in the public schools in California and New Mexico for 30 years. She also taught painting at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Ca., pottery at Santa Fe Community College, as well as seminars at San Juan College, Farmington, NM and St. John’s College, Santa Fe.

While it is beneficial to start children at an early age drawing and learning to "see" as an artist, it is not essential. Ms. Wright believes that everyone can learn to draw well. Sandi uses Betty Edwards method of "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" to help achieve this. Classes are limited in size with individual instruction and encouragement to advance the student rapidly to success. Most of her young students continue into their teens. There are after-school art classes for pre-teens, children and teens, as well as evening classes for adults. Classes consist of drawing, painting, pottery, sculpture and printmaking.

Sandi’s paintings have shown in and been represented by galleries in Denver, New Orleans, Cleveland, Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque and Los Alamos. She is currently showing in her home gallery by appointment only.
