2. Sandra BiermanSandra Bierman, grandmother of five, was born
inBrooklyn, New York, but from age 4 grew up in Oklahoma,Texas and
Maryland. Her father was a Swedishimmigrant and her mother a Texas
farm girl. She wasnurtured as a child by her part-Cherokee
grandmother.Art scholarships began at age 11. Sandra is married
toretired physics professor Arthur Bierman, and they havelived in
Boulder, Colorado since 1988. Her oils are widelycollected and are
published and distributed worldwide.Influences: 16th Century
Italian masters, Mexicanmasters, Chinese and Japanese classical
art.It is important in my work that I paint intuitively, with no
models or photographsto influence the spontaneity of my inner
perceptions as they emerge. Although Iapproach the canvas much like
an abstract painter, working with divisions of space,shapes and
lines, I enjoy the added challenge of using the human figure.
Iconsciously work with technique and composition, but my
unconscious adds anelement of inner yearning for tranquility,
strength and well being-- depending onmy mood. The figures, often
depict grounded women with bare earthy feet and largecaring hands.
The women may be cradling a child, getting solace from a cat
orwashing their hair in the rain. Reflections from my own life. The
large old womenmay be my grandmother or me. I am also the cat or
baby.
