Her mantra " to live creatvely" has been the primary focus for Sandra Hankins aka "Santeena" for the last several years. Although involved in art exploration throughout her life working primarily with watercolor and oil mediums; fiber art has been the recent focus for Sandra's creative expression. "I truly enjoy taking a theme or an image and expanding it with shapes, colors and textures on fabrics". Portraits and landscapes of nature have been the primary themes for Santeena's quilts. "Nature provides an endless wonderful array of colors for quilt themes. Sunsets take on a new meaning when featured in fiber art". Sandra's work has been featured in numerous gallery exhibits; Quilting Arts Magazine and Carolyn Mazloomi's book Journey of Hope in America; Quilts inspired by President Barrack Obama.
