Sandra Acra

Lebanese-born and based in La Jolla, San Diego, Sandra Acra creates organic wall sculptures from naturally shed palm tree bark. She gathers bark only after it falls from California palms, and each sculpture is shaped by the bark itself, its grain, curves, and texture, so no two pieces are ever alike. The work is lightweight, richly textured, and made to bring the warmth of natural material into refined interiors.

Her exhibitions include a solo show at the Gaslamp Museum in San Diego (September 2026), the joint exhibition "Kept in Color" in Laguna Niguel (September 2026), and an upcoming solo exhibition at Gallery 21, Spanish Village Art Center, Balboa Park, in 2027. Her sculpture "Queen Nefara" was juried into "3 Dimensions" at the Escondido Arts Partnership (November to December 2026). Her recent series includes "Oudak Rannan," a palm-bark sculpture in the form of an oud lute, a tribute to her Lebanese heritage. Her work is held by collectors who found it through Saatchi Art.
