| Me in a Nutshell |
I’m Sandra, an artist with a background in interior architecture, and a nomadic spirit that belongs nowhere or everywhere. I love making marks.

A Jordanian-Canadian with Palestinian roots, I trained at Bath University, UK, and Pratt Institute in New York. I've been lucky enough to work at some of the leading names in the design world, internationally, in wonderful places like New York City, Toronto, Bristol, Florence, Amman, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai. So, I know a thing or two about great spaces.

I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember.

I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember. But, it wasn’t until the summer of 2017 that I chose to leave a 12-year career in interiors to focus on turning art into my vocation.
