Sandra Hammer is a Northern landscape painter working in both oils and acrylic. She has lived and worked in Yorkshire and Northumberland for many creative years. After an early art education in the 1960's she returned to full time creative work in the 1990's by taking a Visual Studies course followed by a Fine Art Degree from Leeds Met. University.
Her paintings are vibrant and expressive, full of energy and movement. The paint is poured, dripped, brushed and layered creating surfaces to be explored in close up as well as images to be enjoyed from a distance.
The upland areas of the Yorkshire Dales, the North Pennines and the softer countryside of the Tyne Valley inspire them.
Sandra has recently moved to Wiltshire and is now working from the chalk uplands and wide skies surrounding her new studio. The landscape is dotted with neolithic hill forts, long barrows and stone circles providing rich possibilities for new paintings and an exciting challenge for future work.
