Sandy – From Africa to Art - S2, Ep2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Powertex Pathway Podcast, I sit down with Sandy to explore the remarkable story behind one of the most meaningful sculptures created during the first Powertex Pathway programme.
Originally from Africa, Sandy shares how a lifetime of memories, a deep love of wildlife and a passion for conservation inspired her signature exhibition piece. From transforming an old cable drum into an African landscape to creating majestic vultures that highlight the plight of these often misunderstood birds, every element of her artwork tells a story. You can find out more about the Vultrure charity Vulpro here: https://www.vulpro.com/
We talk about finding confidence through creativity, overcoming self-doubt, solving unexpected challenges and why there's "no such word as can't" when it comes to making art.
This is a conversation about far more than sculpture. It's about memory, purpose, resilience and using creativity to share the things that matter most.
Whether you're an artist, a nature lover or simply someone who enjoys hearing the stories behind extraordinary creative journeys, I hope Sandy's story inspires you as much as it inspired me.
