Teri Sandison Photography
As a photographer and visual artist, my journey began with formal training in ceramics at the University of California, Berkeley, and later expanded to painting and drawing at UCLA. While my early career focused on culinary arts through food photographydocumenting over 60 cookbooks and earning accolades like the Whos Who of Cooking Platinum Plate awardmy true passion evolved toward capturing the spiritual essence of ancient sacred sites. My work explores the intersection of nature, architecture, and time, particularly through diptych and triptych formats that reflect impermanence and transformation.Exhibitions at venues like the Robert Mondavi Winery and Steve Rogers Gallery have showcased my dedication to documenting sacred landscapes across Asia, Mexico, and beyond. With decades of experience, I combine technical precision with a deep understanding of cultural heritage to create archival-quality images that resonate with both historical and emotional depth.
