Sandra Rowney - Painter

 

I produce art to capture a place or a moment.

Time rushes forward but my artwork can stop the clock for a moment while I concentrate on what it is I am looking at, or the mood a place evokes while I am there. 

The completed artworks are a complex mix of thin acrylic on canvas which is then worked into with hand and machine sewing together with loosely applied threads, the acrylic re-applied and further threads trapped inside multi-layers of varnish.

This work is studio based but relies on the treasure trove of sketch books that I fill as visual diaries.
