Welcome to my world of art! I am Sandra Boorne, a visual artist based in Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec. I have been creating art my entire life and love to explore the beauty of the world around me.

​

As an artist, I am in constant search of the connection between the visual on paper or canvas, the physical movements used in the process, the emotion of interpretation as the instinctual takes hold, and the final satisfaction of a process which comes to a fruitful conclusion.

​

I hope to evoke an emotional response or a distant memory to those who view my work.

​

What I paint is an artist’s rendition of the original. I’m not replicating but attempting to create this connection through a unique perspective. I paint from instinct and wait for the forms to guide me to their destination. Many inspirations, both physical and esoteric are part of each piece.  I use antique papers and stamps in my collages which inhabit each piece. I build layers and scrape away history as the painting evolves, finishing with mark making in response to the final colour choices.
