As a farmer’s daughter from Northern Indiana Sandy Matthys Roob grew up immersed in rural landscapes.
Barns, animals, as well as corn, soybeans and mint, crops her family farms, are now part of her paintings. The South Bend native finds beauty in the simplicity of farm compositions and the freshness of nature’s colors.
Her palette includes rich earth tones, autumn hues, reds, greens and shades of blue. Farmland, silos, old barns, and beautiful skies inspire the artist to paint scenes mostly from Indiana.
Roob began her artistic journey in high school and minored in Art at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana.
She majored in Communications and worked as a television news reporter for several years in her hometown. Roob, who now lives in Indianapolis, turned her passion for the visual arts to oil painting a few years ago.
She hones her skills with classes at the Indianapolis Art Center, and The Stutz, where her work has been shown.
