The striking paintings of Sandra Kuck have made
her one the most beloved American artists of the late twentieth century.
Angelic children, nostalgic settings, lyrical compositions, elegant technique, and exquisite
detail are her art's signature characteristics.
Sandra's images uniquely capture the tenderness and beauty of "days gone by." From the
delicate lace and flowers to the peaceful cradling of a baby in mother's arms, Sandra's
profound love of nature and family inspires the beautiful and serene qualities of
her works.
Sandra was born in East Liverpool, Ohio. Her notebooks were embellished with sketches of
her classmates, and her textbooks were used as a source of models. At thirteen, Sandra completed
her first oil painting - a portrait of Napoleon.
Graduating from high school in Southern California, Sandra studied nursing at UCLA for one
semester. Unwilling to relinquish her dream of becoming an artist, Sandra moved to New York City and
attended the Art Student's League. Soon after her move to New York, Sandra met John Kuck, a New
York City Police Detective. John became Sandra's biggest fan and encouraged her to follow her
dream. The young newlyweds quickly started a family, John Jr. and Evelyn, and Sandra's children
became her greatest inspiration. With boundless determination and energy, she continued to cultivate
her talents at home while raising her children.
In 1983, Sandra finally received national recognition when she was honored with her first National
Association of Limited Edition Dealers' Plate of the Year, Print of the Year, and Artist of the
Year awards. Every year since 1983, NALED has honored Sandra with awards, including an unprecedented
eight-time Artist of the Year award. Sandra's awards also include the
1991 International Collectable Artist of the Year, Plate Artist Hall of Fame (Bradford
Exchange), and Print Artist Hall of Fame (U.S. Art).
Sandra's talents are not limited
to prints and plates. She had designed a collection of award winning dolls and
is creating a new figurine and doll series.
Sandra currently lives in Boca Raton, Florida. Her newest inspirations are her grandchildren, Alexandra and Claudia.
