Sandra Robson
Acrylic
Sandra was born in Toronto. She grew up in the country on a rabbit farm. The lack of crayons, pencils or paper didn’t suppress a natural tendency to draw. She used sticks, rocks, sand and even snow to create. It didn’t matter if it washed away – because tomorrow was the opportunity to start fresh.
Sandra earned a University of Toronto science degree; and quickly understood that her true passion was in the arts. The Sheridan College Illustration program provided a foundation towards an established career as a graphic designer, an illustrator and art director. This experience provided a deep understanding of both the elements and principles of design. Her paintings have won awards, placements in a variety of juried exhibits and can be found displayed in homes across Canada, the US and Europe.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Creating is an extension of my core and the canvas is my playground. It is nature or unique characters that captures my attention. A flower, smile or an animal doing an extraordinary – yet everyday activity. This is the story I wish to capture on canvas. Painting is an opportunity to explore an intimate conversation with my inner voice. That conversation defines the energy, movement, colours and how the moment is celebrated.
