Hello! Olá!

I'm Sandra,  an artist into painting, sculpture, and photography.

I’m originally from Brazil and have been living in the USA for almost a decade. I studied painting at the Art Students League (ASL) in New York under Sharon Sprung, where I was introduced to classical European portraiture, which deepened my appreciation for arts.

My background is in banking-tech, but I began painting several years ago as a way to relieve stress, and it quickly opened up a whole new world for me. Through art, I discovered a side of myself I never knew existed. Along with my passion for painting, I’ve always loved sports. I’m a former professional volleyball player in Brazil and now continue to compete as a master athlete in Open and National events.

In addition to painting, I have recently broadened my artistic practice to include sculpture as part of my studies at UWLAX, where I am currently auditing sculpture courses. I'm excited to explore new materials and techniques in sculpture, which I believe will complement and enrich my work in painting and drawing. Of course, I must mention my long-standing passion for photography, although I never had the opportunity to formally study it until now. I am currently enrolled in a Digital Photography class at Cornell, where I am eager to deepen my skills and understanding.

And last but not least, I’m a strong advocate for gender equality. I founded the RedLips WIAS Project (Women In Arts + Sports), which supports and promotes women artists and athletes. I hope you enjoy the curated work I have for you through: The Redlips

Thank you/Obrigada!

My recently artworks include commissions of RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg), 2024 Olympic poster/t-shirts, and bones Illustrations for a medical book. These artworks are part of my initial paintings, as outsider and self taught artist, the paintings are more colorful. I used acrylic as my main media. Most recently I've been working on classic painting from life portraiture using oil, that is part of my training at ASL (The Art Students League) and  other workshops I've participated.

My artwork is not available for purchase at this time, as I am currently focused on developing my skills/preparing for a solo exhibit.

Equal footing - Growing up in a culture where sexism and abuse against women were normalized, I saw firsthand how these issues are often accepted and suppressed. As I grew older, I realized that gender discrimination persists globally, including in developed nations and across various fields like sports and the arts. Women athletes and artists have frequently been overlooked, with their contributions often undervalued compared to their male counterparts. To break these cycles of discrimination, we need to speak out, educate ourselves and others, and invest in women’s achievements.

Let’s shake things up and support gender equality in style! Get behind female artists and athletes by buying their work and sharing it with the world. Next time you're at a museum or gallery, go ahead and seek out the pieces created by women—they’re often the unsung heroes of art! And don’t forget to catch some women’s sports events, because watching women crush it on the field or court is seriously exciting. Not only will you be cheering them on, but you’ll also be helping to amplify their voices and talents. Let's make some noise for the incredible women leading the way!
