Artist Bio

Bio
Hi I'm Sandra.
After spending over a decade in the Contour Industry, and as covid 19 hit, I returned to my first love, art.
I'm a non-traditional arist, a mix bag of lived experiences; a Catholic | Jamaican | Brummie. I love wearing animal print and I never feel my outfits complete without my signature bright pink lipstick!
My art work is full of my unique energy.
I incorporate my own landmark and botanical photography (think homegrown Brummie flowers, parma violets) - a nod to my family the "Palmers" and hummingbirds - a nod to my Jamaican roots.
I'm influenced by the candid photography by Terry O’Neill and the contrasting floral collages by the 17th century botanical artist and (collage pioneer) Mary Delaney.
My art is pure love, optimism and a celebration of life and our beautiful planet! Why? Because as far as we know, there's nowhere else like Planet Earth!

CV
I am a designer with over 16 years’ experience in the contour industry, specialising in lingerie and swimwear, with work presented for high-profile clients, including at New York Fashion Week.
With a background spanning textile design, graphic design, photography, and fine art, my practice brings these disciplines together through digital collage, shaping a considered and original visual language.
