Sandy Moore is a passionate artist whose work is fueled by a deep appreciation for the intricacies of human and animal form. Specializing in soft pastel portraits, she brings a unique blend of sensitivity and technique to her creations. With each stroke of pastel, Sandy strives to capture not just the physical likeness, but also the essence and soul of her subjects. In addition to her love for pastel, Sandy finds solace and fulfillment in the contemplative process of sgraffito. This meticulous technique, which involves scratching into layers of pigment to reveal underlying colors, allows her to explore texture and depth in her artwork. Through her portraits, Sandy invites viewers to pause and contemplate the beauty and complexity of the world around us. Whether depicting a human face or the soulful gaze of an animal, her work is a celebration of life, love, and the interconnectedness of all beings. Knitting offers rhythm and a meditative process where time slows and ideas unfolds. Crocheting provides freedom, with its versatile form allowing Sandy to sculpt and create in three dimensions. Sewing grounds her in precision, where fabric becomes a canvas for both structure and expression. Together, these practices transform thread, yarn and cloth into something more tangible and enduring. Whether through garments, art pieces, or functional works she aims to highlight the connection between maker, material, and tradition. Her art is an invitation to see value in the slow, intentional process of creation and to embrace the warmth and love of human hands at work.
