About the Artist:
In the bloom of her youth, Sandra Jade danced among dreamers, artisans and craftsmen. Yet, to the astonishment of many, she diverged towards convention. Her inner flame flickered, dimmed by executive brutality. Yet, fate embraced, guiding her to her essence, embarking on a healing journey, delicately held by a magnificent force.

About the Exhibition:
"Women" explores a series of stunning acrylic on canvas works created by Sandra Jade. Sandra's inspirational pieces are equally mesmerising and sensual, weaving a rich tapestry that encapsulates a story of healing and self-love.

The collection comprises, 'Sorrows Blossom' prompts a reminder; it is in loss we receive gifts. 'Healing' reassures, we are not broken and have all we need within. 'Embrace' inspires women to shine as we are. 'Nourish' is an electrifying moment of realisation
that shining is sustainable when we nourish ourselves. 'Valour', beautifully depicts courage taken and 'Awaken' breathes deeply into self-love. The collection showcases 'Women' and raises the conversation of workplace self-love.
