The Canadian artist pursued a career as a painter against his father’s wishes.
Sandham was chosen as one of the first members of the Royal Canadian Academy in 1880. After touring England and France he moved to Boston to complete several portrait commissions in 1881. His intention was to visit for only a few weeks, but instead Sandham opened a studio at the Hotel Van Rensselaer and stayed there for about 20 years.
