Sandy has dedicated her career to the Arts which includes designing, illustrating, writing, and performing music both on stage and in studio. Since moving to Leelanau County from San Francisco Bay Area in 2013, Dhuyvetter continues to play music and distribute her creative designs and illustrations via the entertainment and tourism industries around the world.
