Sandra Forbnsh paints
from the heart, soul
By Archer Gilliam
Special to the Time* Newspapers
Sandra Massie Forbush’s career as a portrait painter brings together diverse elements of her life onto a single pallet.
Forbush grew up in Maryland and studied at the Maryland Art Institute. She was an avid rider and professional model, but gave up both when a bad car accident kept her bed-ridden for months.
She had always sketched to pass time while waiting to compete at horse shows, and as she lay recuperating from serious injuries, she felt drawn to once again study art, signing up for classes at the Corcoran School of Art and Northern Virginia Community College.
Forbush is now one of Virginia hunt country’s bestknown artists. Her oil commissions include a long list of private clients, as well as numerous horse shows and steeplechases which use her equestrian scenes both for their posters and program covers.
