I was born and raised in central Massachusetts. I worked most of my adult life in the insurance industry, as a Group Insurance Underwriter. This career took me from Massachusetts to Tennessee to Kansas. When my husband retired in September, 2007, we relocated to our retirement home in Murrells Inlet, SC. I continued to work for the same Kansas City company, until I retired in December, 2010. For as long as I can remember I was the one behind the camera, preserving all the photographic memories from family parties and events, adventures with friends and travel. I am a self taught photographer, still learning something new every day. I LOVE photography. Now that I am retired, it is not unusual for me to spend hours at Huntington Beach or Brookgreen Gardens or Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, just taking pictures. I jump at the chance to travel someplace new and record my adventures. My 'behind the camera' time is limited somewhat - as I am the coordinator for the Seacoast Artist Guild 9th Annual Spring Show & Sale - happening from March 14th through March 24th at the Center Court of Inlet Square Mall in Murrells Inlet, SC. Over 70 artists are participating in this judged show, with over 140 pieces of painted art, photography, mixed media and 3D. The task is overwhelming, but tons of fun, too! Since moving to South Carolina, I have found a growing interest in flowers and critters, sunrises and sunsets, with images that are in abundance here in the Low Country. I hope you enjoy my work and find a reason to smile when you look at my art. I’m smiling every time I can be behind that camera! My art is currently displayed at the Seacoast Mall Gallery and Waccamaw Chiropractic in Murrells Inlet, SC, and Mercy Care Hospice in Myrtle Beach, SC. I am also a Board member of Seacoast Artist Guild. Sandi Blood - contact me at sandi@sandiblood.com
