About

Sandy Furlong is a multidisciplinary artist based in Austin, Texas. Born in Corpus Christi in 1962, she works across painting, writing, and scent to explore how gesture, memory, and language intersect. These works drift between drawing and painting, where each stroke feels like a fragment of handwriting or thought. She treats mark-making as both a visual and emotional signature; a way of thinking through movement, image, and scent at once.

Alongside her visual work, Sandy creates fragrance accords that capture the power of scent to invoke memories viscerally. These fragrances are built as sensory reflections of her writing and painted gestures, and are moments of memory made material.

She is currently developing a project that incorporates the life and work of her late mother, artist Sue Blevins. While the work resists becoming a traditional retrospective, it remains deeply rooted in homage and memoir, tracing a life shaped by her mother’s example, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood, lived both under her tutelage and in her shadow.
