26 Eldorado Living • April 2020 April 2020 • Eldorado Living 27 artist spotlight By Sandra Young, Resident

Miniature Artist Sandra and Sam Young moved Young: to Eldorado 14 years ago, when Sam retired from his career in sales and marketing for major plumbing/fixture manufacturers. Sandra continued to work for the chemistry software company in Southern California as the manager of administration for an additional six years and semi-retired in 2011. She then became a recruiter, finding employees mostly for hi-tech and pharmaceutical companies. Sandra owned her own business “Career Focus” – a career development and outplacement company with a business partner for over 13 years in Tustin, CA.

Sandra’s passion for miniatures started with a dollhouse over 25 years ago. Sandra’s mother gave her granddaughter Heidi, a Victorian dollhouse kit for her 16th birthday. After Heidi left home, Sandra inherited it and has continued to expand it over the years to include shop vignettes for each of her grandchil- dren plus many specialty room boxes. Sandra hand sculpts and clothes many of the dolls in the collection and decorates them seasonally.

The models are scaled to 1” = 1’, so imagine you are 5-6” tall when viewing these photos. The miniatures come from all over the world, collected by San- dra at shows and shops during her travels. Sam builds the boxes and electrifies the house and shops. Sandra’s father cut each roof shingle for the main house – thousands were needed – a true four-generation affair. To this day, small packages arrive often, much to Sam’s chagrin.

Sandra’s Favorite Quote About Her Hobby: “I can’t resist temptation unless I can’t.” –Mae West.

Community Involvement: Sandra volunteers at the Vista Grande Library as the Art Exhibition coordinator. She also manages the Tuesday Art Group and exhibits at the Eldorado Senior Center.

See More of Sandra’s Art: Sandra’s work was featured at Vista Grande Library in February. If you missed it, feel free to contact her at [email protected] to see her miniatures on exhibit at her home.
