The Birds
“A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.”
-John James Audubon
I chose not to have children but I would still like to leave behind a healthy planet for your children. Birds need your help and you need theirs. Birds offer this world more than just beauty in a cage. They keep us from being overrun with insects. They pollinate our food. They dispose of the dead. Birds are an integral part of life on Earth and they are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Find out how you can help your local birds and become an activist. Your children will thank you.
Recycling Is Sexy
Now go be sexy.
This piece is made of used cardboard and junk mail. I then painted it with non-toxic glue and acrylic paints. “Recycling Is Sexy” is a painting meant to be a conversation piece to encourage a reconsideration about using disposable goods.
This Masks Required Sign Is Free For Public Use
A patron asked to use my plague doctor image printed out to hang on their door. That made me think maybe others would like to use this image as well. Anyone may download and use this image as their masks required sign. If you have any issues please email me and I will send you a png.
Stay safe and avoid maskholes.

Such a Small Thing
Cherri Lakey, of Phantom Galleries, Two Fish Design, KALEID Gallery and Ano Domani, had the fun idea to create a
large painting for the entry wall at KALEID Gallery.
We talked about reflecting the tiny imposition of wearing a mask compared to the Plague Doctors’ uniform.
Thank you Cherri and Brian for turning San Jose into a city of art.
The Plague Doctor, by Sandi Billingsley is currently hanging at KALEID Gallery.

Hand made canvas of recycled materials and latex paints by Sandi Billingsley.
This is a close up to show the brush work, also to show how I manipulate the clear coat to create a wet beaded look.
Echioceras Marble
Many years ago I was told that as an artist you are innately toxic to the environment. This worried me because we need a healthy environment and yet I have this compulsion to create. This unlikely marriage of emotions are what drive me and police my work.
I hand made this canvas of recycled materials and coated it with non-toxic and low-no-voc paints
This piece is can be hung vertically or horizontally.
