Artist Bio


Bio

I’m Sandra, a surreal artist working with digital botanical collage.

My practice blends photography with surreal composition, incorporating fruits, flowers, and found imagery to reimagine the everyday.

Drawing from both natural and urban sources, my work explores memory, place, and the quiet beauty often overlooked.

I’m influenced by Mary Delany’s precise, reverent approach to nature, alongside the humanity, charisma, and candid, unguarded moments captured in the photography of Terry O’Neill. Together, these references shape a visual language where care, structure, and spontaneity coexist.

After more than a decade in the contour industry, I returned fully to art during the COVID-19 pandemic, reconnecting with visual storytelling rooted in lived experience.

Each piece invites a pause — a moment to see the familiar differently.


 

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.
