“Painting is my way of exploring the world and appreciating what I see . I often do several studies directly from life before I begin working in imaginative elements; whether it be a landscape with a dragon or a flower fairy. All my works are painted with love, as explorations of nature and imagination, and I hope that you find some magic and joy in your experience of them.”
Sandra Rose is a classically trained artist specializing in magic inspired oil paintings and digital art with soul. From an early age, Sandra was captivated by nature and fairytales, often spending childhood days wandering through forests, and coming up with tales of the creatures who lived there. This lifelong fascination with the mythical and the natural world has become the heart of Sandra’s artistic practice, where curiosity meets imagination, and exploration takes shape through drawing and painting.
