Sandra Moffat is a Scottish artist who strives to create atmosphere in her work through overlapping layers of texture and meaning, in order to evoke emotional and visual memories for the viewer.
Sandra Moffat graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1986. Having studied Embroidered and Woven Textiles she went on to develop a successful career with leading Interior Design companies such as Osborne and Little and Colefax and Fowler. In 2007 Sandra returned to her love of painting and began exhibiting her work successfully throughout Scotland, including at the Royal Glasgow Institute, Visual Art Scotland and Paisley Art Institute. She has work in private art collections in the UK, Spain, Canada, USA and Germany.
Sandras background in textiles has a strong influence on her art and she likes to work in an organic way by layering mixed media to prepare her board before making the first marks. Only when the layering process is complete does she decide on the composition of the piece, using the textures to suggest how the piece should evolve.
Sandra lives in the Southside of Glasgow with her husband and son, having previously stayed in Edinburgh for seven years.
