Colour, shape, pattern, repetition, harmony, discord, balance and texture are fundamental elements. Removing an object or subject from the work allows these elements to be the primary reason for creating. The work then becomes a mind game of problem solving.

Sandra McMahon started her career as a Visual Arts teacher/ lecturer at NSW TAFE for 8 years before moving into the gallery sector where she worked across a range of positions at 3 Regional Galleries and 3 Commercial Galleries in NSW and ACT. She holds a Diploma of Visual Arts (TAFE), a Graduate Diploma in Art History and Curating (ANU), and a Diploma of Management (UNEP), Cert IV in Training Assessment and Education (TCC) and is a registered Art Valuer under the Australian Governments Cultural Gifts Program. 

Sandra uses the basic principle and elements of design to create work that responds to a minimalist philosophy, to a purified truth of form. Tensions and sanctuaries of spacing between the shapes themselves ensures that the work is not pretending to be anything other than what it is; order, simplicity, and harmony of form.

Sandra is also interested the emotional effect colour can have on space and endeavours to produce work that is resolved and visually pleasing.
