Eve Sandler is an American painter, filmmaker and multi-media artist in the style of Abstract Expressionism.[1] Sandler, born in Harlem, is the daughter of Harlem-based painter Alvin Sandler and sister of filmmaker Kathe Sandler.
The artist began her professional career at the age of seventeen, first working with jewelry and metals before turning to relief painting in the 1990s.[2]
Sandler's multimedia installation "Mami Wata Crossing" was part of the 2008 exhibition, "Mami Wata: Arts for Water Spirits in Africa and Its Diasporas" at the Fowler Museum.[3] The work examined connections between the pan-African water goddess Mami Wata, genealogy and the middle passage.
