About "Mpilo"

Many women in Africa spend much of the day walking for miles to fetch and carry water for the family. I have named this picture "Mpilo" which is a Zimbabwean Ndebele girl's name meaning "Way of life".

About Sandi

I have always had artistic talent and have an absolute obsession to paint. I believe that obsession is more important than talent - it's that special ingredient that shows in the work. I also believe that artists should paint only subjects that they love - otherwise, what's the point?

Born and raised in Zimbabwe, I feel a deep connection to the African landscape and to its people. These are the base of my art. I have reached a point in my painting where I feel comfortable with my post impressionistic style using vivid colours, thick application of paint and distinctive brush and pallet knife strokes.

My paintings are each a story and most often, are created from memory. The landscapes become a backdrop for human interaction pushing the composition aim to reflect on everyday life in Africa.

My work is held in many private collections in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Holland, Ireland, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan. and Holland.
