Sandra Tobias
....................................................................................................
|
She graduated from Royal Melbourne
Institute of Technology in 1984 and since then
has spent time traveling, teaching art and producing
her own paintings, prints, and sculptures.
She spent two years living in Tokyo where she
was selected for the annual PARCO Urban Art exhibition
(a traveling group exhibition), Absolut Vodka
exhibition at Spiral Gallery and several others.
When she returned to Australia in 1995 she was
selected to be Artist-In-Residence at Bundanon,
the late Arthur Boyd's property "Shoalhaven",
a unique place where the works were inspired by
the Australian landscape. During this time she
also held an exhibition at Perth Institute of
Contemporary Art.
As a practising artist of nearly twenty years,
she says, "My work is definitely a reflection
of my environment and present predicament of which
I am in at the time of producing the work. My
work is like a diary of events and situations
that effect society and me at the time. Births,
Marriages, Deaths, Wars, etc. In Hong Kong I am
constantly traveling, moving at a somewhat frantic
pace, riding buses, trams, ferries all these times.
I try to capture an essence of what I'm feeling,
being artist, art teacher at Quarry Bay School
and mother to Kai and Aki."
