Born in Sweden, Sandzen was interested in art at an early age and was exposed to watercolor painting through his mother who was an artist herself. He was a graduate of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and in 1894 moved to Kansas to teach art at Bethany College and produced most of his work during this period. Best known for his landscapes, the Smoky Hill River Valley area of central Kansas provided a lot of his subject matter.
