Sandra Shepherd
I am an artist and maker living in Charlotte Cove in Southern Tasmania. In this idyllic location I don’t have to look far for inspiration. Instead of fairies I have seahorses living under the jetty at the bottom of my garden. I love to sit and watch the sea as the weather changes. The flowers in my garden attract a variety of birds and I also care for orphaned wildlife.
Before I moved to Charlotte Cove I took time out from the world and lived for seven years in a small off-grid cabin in the Tasmanian bush. This experience helped me focus on what I wanted to do next in my life. Simple really. I like painting and making things so now that’s what I spend my days doing. After feeding and caring for my orphaned joeys of course.
When I returned somewhat to civilization (Charlotte Cove only has one street with around 30 houses!) I enrolled in a drawing class in Cygnet. This gave me the confidence to begin showing my work. Painting in watercolours primarily, I continue to take a variety of classes to increase my skills and knowledge. Recently I have taken classes in printmaking, gouache painting and bird sketching. Online classes became my lifeline in 2020 and I took classes from teachers all over the
world.
