Born in Vallejo, California in 1966 Sandy Calhoun spent her formative years playing in mud, roller skating, and dreaming of dancing in a disco. After studying industrial and graphic design at San Francisco State University for 4 years, she transferred to Chico State University to finish her education, took a ceramics class to fulfill a general education requirement, and changed her major after the first day of class. After receiving her BA degree, in ceramics, from Chico State, Sandy turned her attention to raising a family and her art making moved to the side, though it was never completely abandoned. In 2013, she decided to reacquaint herself with clay and signed up for a workshop class being led by Tony Natsoulas at Alpha Fired Arts in Sacramento. In the company of wonderful artists, under the direction of Tony, she has been able to develop her skills as a ceramic artist, explore her quirks and neurosis, and discover that art can be weird and funny and personal. Since 2013, Sandy has been in numerous groups shows and has had a 2 solo shows.
