Artist Bio

Sandy Crawford

Sandy Crawford has had a camera in hand from a very young age, mainly photographing Hereford cattle and horses on her family ranch in western North Dakota. As a 4-H project, she won numerous state and national awards in photography; she also remembers selling one of her horses to buy her first 35mm camera.

For the last 40 years, Sandy has owned and operated Classic Leather Designs. Her art focus has been designing and creating high-end western leathergoods.

In 2017, Sandy married Freeman Crawford. Freeman recognized Sandy’s love for photography, and encouraged and supported her as she pursued her passion. Now, together, they travel to photograph horses, cattle, and wildlife while still working together in the leather shop. Freeman’s gift with woodworking has provided a unique opportunity to create perfect frames to tell the stories of Sandy’s photos.

As Sandy says, everyday, God presents a new adventure!
