From her early days as a commercial artist to her current status as a renowned fine artist, Sandra's story is one of dedication and a relentless pursuit of artistic excellence.
Sandra Wadkin’s Artistic Background and Development
Sandra's creative path began in the West Midlands, where she was born and raised. Her early fascination with art led her to sell animal commissions, which eventually paved the way for her formal education in Art and Design after spells working in other industries. After completing her degree in Fine Art, Sandra's artistic voice began to take shape, influenced by her love of people watching and psychology.
As Sandra’s career has progressed, she has continued to hone her skills, experimenting with new techniques and mediums. In particular, she’s recently been experimenting with creating hand-drawn digital art using tools such as Procreate. She often combines this with traditional methods to create fascinating mixed-media art that draws the eye and delivers subtle messaging.
Sandra Wadkin’s Create Process and Acclaim
So, what drives Sandra's creative process? For her, it's all about experimentation and pushing boundaries. She's constantly seeking new ways to express herself. As mentioned, she often looks at new ways to incorporate digital elements into her work. The recent Fluid Series and Fractured Series are the result of these endeavours, seeing her create intricate, layered pieces that are both visually striking and thought-provoking.
The latter series has seen her recognised by many outlets, culminating in the winning the Aesthetica Magazine Art Prize in York and exhibiting at notable galleries such as the Truman Brewery Gallery in London and the Coalesce exhibition at the Hardwick Gallery in Cheltenham. Her Fractured Series also brought her yet more acclaim, as she won the Montpellier Gallery Contemporary Art Award from the Stratford upon Avon Arts Society.
The rapid rise in Sandra's star has meant her original artworks have been flying off the shelves, with collectors keen to get in before further endorsements and accolades bolster her reputation.
Sandra Wadkin: Original Fractured Series
We’ve been fortunate enough to secure a couple of the coveted original Fractured Series and have made them available for sale to the public. The first, “Smoking Joker,” is in Joaquin Phoenix's iconic performance in the role.
This piece is a masterclass in capturing the complexities of the human psyche. The fractured style, achieved through a combination of translucent and opaque layers, creates a sense of depth and visual tension. As you gaze upon the Joker's enigmatic smile, you can't help but ponder the blurred lines between reality and madness.
Similarly, Sandra's fractured portrait of Kurt Cobain, rendered in black and white, is a poignant tribute to the music icon, exuding a sense of melancholy and introspection.
