Sandeman also became close to Ian Hamilton Finlay at this time, later collaborating with him both on publications from the Wild Hawthorn Press and on a series of paintings.She won the RSA's prestigious Guthrie Award in 1958, and the Anne Redpath Award in 1970. That same year she also won a Scottish Arts Council Award. Her work is held in national institutions including the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, Aberdeen Art Gallery and the Fleming Collection.
