Artist Bio

Bio
Hi, I’m Sandra — a Birmingham-based artist and the face behind Brummy Artist Birmingham. Before this, I spent over 16 years designing lingerie and swimwear, so I’ve always had an eye for detail, shape, and how things feel. That same care now lives in my art.
I came back to creating during COVID, when life slowed down and I started really noticing Birmingham in a new way. Nature was everywhere — flowers growing unapologetically, birdsong echoing through the streets, small moments of calm in the middle of the city. It made me realise… you can love both.
Love the city… need nature too? 🌿
That’s exactly what I create. I blend urban energy with botanical beauty — using my own photography from around Birmingham alongside carefully sourced florals. Inspired by Mary Delany and Terry O'Neill, my work brings together detail, personality, and feeling.
My pieces are made for real homes — warm, lived-in, full of story. Printed in the UK using archival materials and small-batch production, they’re designed to last and to feel like they already belong.
Because why should you have to choose? I blend both into art for your walls.

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.
