Sandra Karick

Sandra feels a natural affinity with the Australian landscape and seascape and enjoys
the challenge of capturing its essence and spirit with the use of pastels, oils and
acrylics. Representing reality of emotions and things around us in an impressionistic
way is important to her and she constantly strives to paint a large range of subjects
and with different mediums in order to satisfy her creative urges. Sandra lives on the
Mornington Peninsula and is a member of the Studio 12 group of artists who paint together and exhibit often in the Melbourne area.
