Throughout her career, Sandra has found inspiration in the Arctic landscape and the life of the Inuit. Growing up in Canada, she found inspiration early in the ice and snow. A visit to Baker Lake in Arctic Canada furthered her appreciation of the vast beauty of the northern regions. Equally importantly, Sandra was inspired by the people who live in the Arctic. She recalls how “meeting the Inuit people and learning about their art and way of life, in addition to the making of caribou skin clothing,” would inspire her work for many years.

On a trip to Iceland, she was particularly impressed by the sight of the ancient ice that had washed up onto the black lava shore. Her observations of melting glaciers prompted her to learn more about the increasing rate of melting, which in turn informed her artwork. In recent years, her focus has also included urban life and the effects of global warming on forests, woodlands and particularly the Polar regions. For her series Meltdown, she uses orange and red thread with copper shim to reflect the effect of climate change on the ice.
