Sanchez, a printmaker from New Mexico, received her B.F.A. in printmaking and Russian Studies from the University of New Mexico in

Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, Mich.; the Communication Arts Gallery at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside; the Schick
Art Gallery, Skidmore College; and the Susannah Keith Gallery, Dexter, Mich. Sanchez' work comes from ideas or thoughts taken from
nature which become manifested in her own visual language. An accomplished printmaker in many printmaking media, Sanchez enjoys the
process of linocut for its physical process of cutting and carving as well as for the raw and primitive quality that it can render.
