Sandra Burns, Artist Statement
My artwork explores the boundaries of peace and healing. Through my art, I offer hope and optimism, a strength on which to move ahead. The most important thing to give someone is to silence their demons – to provide a place of refuge and acceptance. As a nature artist, my work provides a pathway to good well-being. 💖
The sight and sound of the ocean have always been an escape for me. I bring those elements of escapism into my artwork.
Physically, my work is an acrylic painting. Mentally, it is a work of love. It originates from a dream of helping others on their journey towards peace and happiness.

I lose myself in the “process of creation”. I mix rich colours to achieve inspirational designs. These designs combine my strong connection to nature. They also show my dream of helping others.
Sharing my designs is exhilarating. In essence, I enjoy creating artwork that sings to my soul. I hope it does that for you too!
