Sandra grew up on the edge of Europe in County Donegal, Ireland and now lives in Zurich. This show blends her signature evocative landscapes with what she playfully terms “botanical shenanigans” - a series of mixed media floral works.
All of Sandra’s work is rooted in deep observation; she is a self-confessed “nature nerd” who, “spends a lot of time staring at stuff”. Yet, rather than reflecting the accuracy of her noticing, she emphasizes atmosphere and emotion, blending personal memory with present inspiration.
Visitors will be invited to immerse themselves in windswept terrains and moody skies, while also engaging with the intricate details of flowers, plants, ponds and forests. This juxtaposition of awe-inspiring landscapes with fragile flora encourages viewers to reflect on their relationship/interaction with nature and ensure that they savor small details as well as big views.
The exhibition opens on May 7 and runs until June 25.
On Friday May 9, Sandra will be the guest at the Club Coffee Morning (10-11.30).
