Born in Oil City, Pennsylvania in 1960, Sandra Enterline has long been inspired by the collision of the industrial and natural worlds. Her work is best known for its many hand-drilled holes. Sandra holds an AA in jewelry and metalsmithing from the Rochester Institute of Technology and a BFA in metalsmithing from Rhode Island School of Design. Her award-winning work has been exhibited throughout the world, included in international museum collections, and featured in leading craft publications. In addition to her artistic work, which she creates from her studio in San Francisco, Sandra gives lectures and conducts metalsmithing workshops.

Sandra has exhibited since 1984 extensively in the US, Canada and Europe.
