Monarch Art Collection
Featured Artist - Norman Sandhaus
Monarch Jewelry and Art is proud to exhibit, for a limited time, the work of Norman Sandhaus.
After graduating from Lesley University in Boston in 1950 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Norman worked as an illustrator, art director and creative director for several major agencies until he opened Sandhaus International, a company that specialized in providing total creative services for the international Travel, Leisure and Hospitality industry. These service included: photography, art design, copywriting and printing. His clients were Government Tourism Organizations in Latin America and South America and more than a hundred hotels and resorts worldwide.Today he continues to work as a professional artist and photographer, a career that began in 1950.
His paintings present a melding of refined pictorial with the beauty and simplicity of fold art that is more poetic than pure realism. He uses softly modulated flat shapes and colors in order to reveal deeper experiences. Art itself becomes the subject of his work through a simplified complexity that unified color, form, space and composition.
His synthesized photographs are the result of his reinterpreting his original photographic images through the fusion of art, science and technology.
His painting and photographs have been exhibited at various Central Florida museums and galleries including:
Casselberry City Hall
Oval Gallery - Orlando
Fly Fish Gallery - Eustace, Florida
Maitland Art Center (Purchase Award)
Orlando Museum of Art Gallery (Month long solo exhibit)
Avlon Gallery, Orlando
Plum Gallery in St. Augustine
Hyder Gallery of Fine Art in Sanford
Seminole State College in Sanford
