Sandra Iafrate works in oil, acrylic and mixed media using intricate compositions and combination of contemporary and classical techniques. Her portrayal of portraiture, nature, floral and foliage takes on complex compositions with depth and movement while conveying an nostalgic and poignant memory and aesthetic. Her work has evolved to include large-scale mixed media canvases which include vintage materials mixed with charcoal drawing and expressive painting. Sandra works from her studios in Canada and the U.S.
Sandra Iafrate began her career workin in publishing, broadcasting and public relations but always having a penchant for drawing and painting. Since 1994 diverted her work towards visual arts, initially studying drawing and watercolour followed by oil painting of portraits, landscapes and nature.
