"It's not just about the wine...Wineoceros Wine Club offers a unique, unpretentious approach to open up products and lifestyles that are exciting and valuable to its members...Like fine wine, fine art has an important place in the interior decor of every Wineoceros.  We search the talented art community of Southern Oregon and beyond to bring our members the best and most unique in wine-themed art.  We've chosen contemporary fine artist, Sandi Whetzel of Oregon as our first featured artist because we love her sensual wine-themed art."

Sandi's wine inspired art has been tickling the senses of wine lovers for some time now.  Her art was chosen to promote Oregon's premiere wine event, The Greatest of the Grape in 2006 and 2011 and the 2005 Umpqua Valley Winegrowers Wine, Art & Music Festival.  In 2009 her design won the wine label contest for Eugene, Oregon's Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts, (DIVA).  Her sizzling image of Wine on the Vine II  became the label for several hundred bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon used for fund raising events for that organization.

Whetzel relates, "I try to come up with exceptional wine inspired concepts and render them with a goal of making my art have a lasting visual impact; to stand out indelibly in the viewers' memory.  Hopefully, they will be enthralled, enchanted or moved to smile.  I am thrilled that Wineoceros Wine Club selected my wine images as offerings on their new website.  It's a great pairing." 

Currently three of Whetzel's flora art are exhibited at the Rogue Gallery and Art Center, 40 S Bartlett St, Medford, OR through April 27, 2012.  Others of her flora series are gracing the walls of Pangea Grills & Wraps, 272 E Main, Ashland, OR through May 7, 2012.  You can see more of Sandi's art here
