Vandra Pentecost was born prematurely at six months with severely impaired vision and a misaligned left eye. Art provided a refuge, a place where she found solace and through developing skills to offset her difficulties. Legally blind in one eye challenges depth perception which is something she has tried to "see" as she works with the figure and portraiture.

She is a conceptual figurative painter inspired by comparative religion, world culture, transformation and the subtleties and sensuality of the human spirit. She works in many media, drawing, painting, digital and sculpture. Vandra is an artist instructor living in Indianapolis, Indiana.
