Dorothea Sandra

I am an internationally-minded artist who believes in MUTUALITY and RESPECT. I stand against bullies, power-mongers, and abusers. This is reflected in my intense abstract art.

I am also a bestselling evidence-based design artist. This art is based on actual medical/scientific studies on health and happiness. In 2024, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine interviewed me for my “happy” art and my book, 100 Days Of Happy Happy Art, Evidence-Based Design. My art was also on the Jan/Feb 2025 cover of Healthcare Design Magazine.

My art appeared in the May and June 2025 issues of Condé Nast's House & Garden print magazine. The art directors also selected two of my paintings as the entrance paintings to the shopping section of their digital magazines.

In 2050, an estimated 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. What if we focused on making our cities smart and sustainable? My Smart City Art series promotes this planet-healing idea. I also worked in Tokyo as an English rewriter for the anime/animation industry, which included working on a Studio Ghibli film, done by Hayao Miyazaki, before it got sold to Disney. I believe their influences come out in my Smart City Art abstracts.

My Smart City Art series will be featured at the 2025 SRI Sustainability Research and Innovation International Congress, which will be held at the Sheraton Grand Riverwalk in Chicago from June 16 to 19.
