Sandi Allison Colaizy

Sandi was born and raised in St. Paul, MN. After many years of working as a Registered Nurse, and raising children, life took her down the road of Performance Ministry. She worked side by side with her late husband, Richard K. Allison, as they traveled around the country and abroad ministering through the Performing Arts. Sandi served as a Ministry Associate with Allison Ministries and worked as Richard's road manager, booking agent, set designer, and producer of all their major concerts and special events.

After Richard's death in 1995, Sandi continued producing concerts and consulting with Christian artists and churches.

Sandi's passion for God and the Fine Arts has led her to pursue a career in the visual arts. From a very young age, Sandi has loved "creating." Using her talents in one artistic way or another has been a joy throughout her life. "Whether I am producing an event or creating a painting …my desire is to reach in and touch the beholders heart." Sandi's paintings are often inspired from scripture, sermons, and her own life experiences. Her art is an expression of herself and a way to restore peace to her mind and spirit in an often-restless world.

Currently, Sandi lives in Shoreview, MN. She and her husband Jim were married in January 2001. Jim has been a constant source of encouragement and inspiration in her life and in the lives of her children.  Sandi’s daughter Inga is married to Chris and has 3 children, Skylar, Keenan and Jordyn.  Sandi’s daughter Erika and son Hans live and work in the Twin Cities area.
