Ebb & Flow

The beach has always been a huge love of mine, one that calms and inspires me to be creative and free. I love watching the water, with its colours, patterns, shapes and sounds. The movement and energy of the water is what I try to convey in my beach paintings. Using acrylic paints and a  variety of shades of blue, I focused on the frothy wave at its peak. So much of life is expressed in the ocean, danger, freedom, survival, release, floating, body movement, refreshment, and this was what inspired this artwork.

Sandra has been painting since the age of 11, when she started painting classes after school. It was a love affair that has lasted for over 30 years. After concentrating on art and photography in high school, she then went on to study Art & Design for 5 years, earning an Advanced Certificate of Art and Design, and a Bachelor of Arts (Graphic Design). Working for many years as a Graphic Designer, she has also continually sold her paintings in her spare time. Since the beginning of 2019, she decided to take her passion more seriously and practice everyday, became a member of MAVA (Melbourne and Victorian Artists), and regularly exhibits in exhibitions. Sandra enjoys experimenting with materials, styles and techniques, but always comes back to Acrylic on canvas. She creates realism, abstract and lately in-between with her underwater jellyfish themes. She is looking forward to continually growing and evolving as a painter. You can view more of her work through her website and social media pages.
