Sandra’s work includes painting, drawing, sculpture and video. Her work is informed by walking, tending native plant gardens, and noticing ongoing change and processes of ecosystems. Her paintings incorporate images derived from observation, research, curiosity and speculation. They investigate the complexity of ecological processes and consider the interplay between natural and built environments. The notion of restoration interests her as an ecological and psychological process.

Many of her drawings, including the series Indelible employ the use of inks made from plant and other collected materials and explore the insistence of the natural world beneath and within an urban location. http://drainmag.com/indelible/
