Sandra Scheller’s artistic life includes creating, designing costumes and clothing for film, theater and runway. Her designing and sewing skills came from her mother. She assists Vilen Golovko of The Flying Cranes aerial ballet and trapeze for over 17 years, with acts in Cirque Du Soleil and Ringling Brothers Circus, China, Germany and Russia. Numerous CD music covers include Sandra’s photography including Los Romeros and Ninel Novikova. She worked 9 years at Cirque Du Soleil as a technician in wardrobe, coached and was head of wardrobe for Cirque Du Monde, performed in Death Valley California in a solo show at the Amargosa Opera house and was nominated as the Artist of the Year in the state of Nevada 2010.

She graduated from San Diego State University and received her teaching credentialing from UCLA. She won the Top Female Mime Award at the National Mime Festival in 1975 and 1976, performed in numerous commercials as a mime, guest performed in Reading Rainbows and Sesame St. along with dancing with Rayna’s Spanish Ballet. She is married, has raised 2 boys and assisted with the needs of her Mom until she passed last year.

Sandra asked her Mom if she was comfortable talking about her concentration camp experiences, since it was not talked about as a child growing up in the Sax household. Her work in documenting her mother’s life story is nothing short of miraculous because she was able to understand firsthand about Ruth’s childhood while teaching us to NEVER FORGET.

Sandra is a recipient of the Gayle Mc Candliss Literacy Award and Multicultural Motion Pictures documentary award. She has been recognized by both President Obama and President Trump and can be seen in a TEDX Chula Vista 2019 presentation entitled Keeping Memories Alive. Her panel, Art During The Holocaust at Comic Con, can be seen on youtube.
