Shaman  | Amazon Sisters
clay works of Sandra Chanis L.
Opening Reception
September 24, 6 to 9pm
Curated by Dorothy Annette
"The AMAZON SISTERS series is about women who intrinsically pass genetically linked information and knowledge from generation to generation.
Interest in the subject was sparked by a trip to Crete whose ancient women were powerful and controlled the future of empires through secret codes woven into their cloths, combs and decorations. It was their knowledge which made them powerful".
Sandra Chanis L. was born and raised in Panama City. She received her B.A. from the Western College for Women in Oxford and her M.A. from the University of Dallas, Texas. She has received many awards and has exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the US and abroad. Sandra fosters students in the MFA program for the University of Vermont, Montpelier and demonstrates a huge determination and commitment for art.
Ms. Chanis L. will hold a free, public lecture on her work and travels on Saturday, October 16th, 2010 at the Women's History Museum
