Artist Statement | Saundra Fleming's Gallery | Back to List of Artists

Saundra Fleming was raised in Texas and Louisiana where she completed a Bachelors of Science with honors in Psychology in 1982. She has two brilliant and hilarious children, one a musician and the other a social worker. It wasn't until she traveled to Chicago in 1992 did she begin to dream and to paint.

The following has been said about her work by her colleagues:

" S. Fleming is a committed, prolific artist whose ideas are startlingly poetic and extremely challenging. She seems to inhabit a place that I imagine to be akin to a multidimensional crossroads where alternative realities collide and co-mingle. I am aware of no other artist in Austin or the surrounding area who is doing work with this kind of daring originality ."

-Billy Kirkland; previous owner of art gallery Eeka Beeka and art collector

" Her bold sense of leadership and idiosyncratic artistic vision inspired myself and many other artists during her heyday in Chicago "

-Matthew Kopp; Artistic Director, Oro Art & Design
