"Early Winter" Painting

Sandra Iafrate is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice examines place, memory, and material as vessels of lived experience. Working primarily in painting and mixed media, she integrates traditional techniques with layered surfaces, incorporating found and vintage materials. Her accumulative processes explore temporality and identity through portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and immersive installations that evoke imagined histories and cultural narratives. Iafrate holds an MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design and a BA from Carleton University. With over two decades of experience as an artist and educator, her work has been exhibited internationally. She lives and works between Canada and the United States.
