The art of Sandipa has been described as a mastery of colour and an imaginative application of design.
Nature's infinite variety in forms and colours suffuses the paintings of Sandipa (pronounced SanDEEpa).

It's from an inner vision that her personal and imaginative landscapes are created, with their symbols and light. The influence of nature is ever present in her art and is the foundation of her journey as an artist.
She has lived amongst native people in remote parts of the world and her work is exhibited widely, with recent exhibitions in Australia, the United States and in New Zealand.
In her search as an artist, Sandipa was attracted to the unique and beautiful cultural expressions of various native cultures - their sense of pattern and colour, seen in weavings, rugs, jewellery and self-adornment. It was a fascination to her that even though these ethnic peoples lived in faraway lands and in isolation from each other for millennia, they had each evolved beautiful and colourful art.

" I realized that the common thread running through their artistic expression was that they all live in
close connection with the earth - they view nature as their guiding force. It became clear to me that
my creative expression was involved with this same source of nature. "
"The point for me when painting, is to be in touch with the natural source - a creative meditation.
About my way of working I can say that I try to allow things to happen with such intensity of purpose that the part that does not
speak in words or gestures is given a voice in colour and form. I try to bring into form some quality that
sustains and nurtures humanity - things like love, trust and beauty."
