Sandra Albrant

My name is Sandra Albrant and I have always been fascinated with drawing and painting, knitting and crocheting. I was born in Elmore, Minnesota and we moved to Owatonna, Minnesota after my Dad came back from WWII. I started taking piano lessons when I was 6 years old and found that I loved music as I continued to study through high school and even as I was an adult. I also took voice lessons and sang in the church choir, school choir and with the University of Minnesota concert choir while I was there. I married my husband, Chuck in December of 1958 and we are still together after 51 years of marriage.

I started teaching piano lessons when we moved to Rochester, Minnesota and our three children were in school. I always enjoyed painting but with a busy family and 40 students a week it took me some time to get back into the other things in life that I enjoyed. Most of my work was done at night when I would knit, crochet, or paint pictures to give as gifts. My husband kept encouraging me and so I took some painting classes when I could work them in. I found that I really enjoyed doing painting and that I liked painting on wood, such as, painting on lazy susans, clocks, small pictures to hang on walls and trays.

We moved to Nashwauk in February of 2006 after we had both retired and we didn’t care to live in a big city anymore. Our daughter and her family live in Keewatin and we are enjoying seeing her family as often as possible. We have also enjoyed having the time to go to visit our sons and their families and not having to worry about getting back to a job. I have enjoyed taking classes at the art center and so has my husband who is working on wood carving. We have enjoyed being with the people that are involved with the art center.
