"Love this piece of artwork. I also really like your figure drawings. I also love to draw from the figure. It is like a musician playing scales;"
Sandra Wray left a comment for Thomas Hodges"thanks Thomas - looking forward to your next installment - i really believe that you capture sexuality in a intimate way - i love the female form, the curves and softness of a woman's body is so stunning to just look at... and you capture that"

"Very clever - the play of male and female - and the words ' attack' and 'man' makes this peace work. The placement of the woman's hand makes it a little provocative I think. What is also interesting is the strong physical…"
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Sandra Wray is a Brazilian born artist, now living in Essex. She trained as a ceramic artist at the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, South Africa, where she graduated with full honours before moving to London. She worked for many years as a ceramic artist before moving onto painting. She found that painting gave her the ability to express herself in ways that ceramics never could. She found painting to be more immediate. Her paintings speak for her, expressing her thoughts and emotions more vivid and deeply than any words could.
- About My Art:
- My painting is an expression of who I am and what I am about. I have always struggled to express myself through conventional means, and in time found painting to be the most accurate source of expressing what it is that that I think and feel at the time. I manipulate paint and use expressive lines to show more than just what you see. I want the viewer to feel it, to sense it.
A good artist friend of mine wrote this - thought I would share it with you:
'Luis Rodriguez - November 20, 2009
I came to b-uncut through Sandra and I am ever so happy I did. It is fantastic that her work has been selected to be featured. A committed and hard working artists, I pride myself of having witnessed Sandra’s beginnings as a painter after a well established career as ceramicist, that naturally lead her into the bi-dimensional realms of painting. Her work has taken -grown- a course from a rich array of swirling brushstrokes, meandering through the picture surface to more complex and angular compositions where graphic elements -graphisms- alternate with broad sections of colour. Her work is infused with a particular energy that demands careful analysis of its dynamics. The way it is expressed deserves a detailed critique. Well done!'
I am looking forward to seeing Luis' work on here!

- Wow! Sandra the painting looks tremendous. I do that all the time, I am so used to it now. I have everything cluttered around and just dip anywhere ha,ha! your lucky , I am commissioned just now to do football stars Jimmy Johnston and Henrik Larson , I hate doing that rubbish , but it pays for the canvas and paint I suppose. But I just find it a waste of hours. I just go through the motions till I can get back to doing what I like. The painting looks great, well done. Now go chuck more on and don't come back till your covered from head to toe, ha,ha! I want to see the multi coloured Sandra, ha,ha!
