About Sandy

Graduating in Fine Art from Central St Martin's School of Art and now living very close to us here at Water Lane, Sandy describes her approach;

"The play of light and shadow, and the in-the-moment experience of absorbing the world around me inform my work. I am also drawn by my memories of a childhood spent outside, the visual impact and pleasure of that still resonates with me. I love colour and texture and in my work am always attempting to use these elements to create a harmonious balance."

Tickets £85
