E-mail: sandra@sandraclarke.ca Link you all socials & updates https://linktr.ee/sandraclarke Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandra.clarke.canada Artist Bio Zero-waste artist and craftivist, Sandra Clarke, has been untangling skeins of yarn, fabric, paper, and making useful things for over 30 years. Born in the colourful, celtic, Montreal neighbourhood of Griffintown, and educated in Montreal, New York, Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Toronto, helped Sandra develop her eclectic and repurposeful style. Her textile, fibre & paper arts and courses include; eco-printing, natural rust dyeing, junk journaling, improv quilting, embroidery, weaving, spinning (spinning wheels & drop spindles), sewing, felting, crochet, and knitting. Sandra creates and teaches about making useful things from recycled and reclaimed items. These items include; beaded trees of life, artisan boho fabric jewelry, improv quilts, and upcycled clothing and accessories. Her art can be seen regularly in boutiques, galleries, and online. Sandra illustrations are featured in ecology themed books that can be found online, art galleries, and in her courses. Nature themes are also explored in Sandra's illustrations, both graphic and by hand. 2022 brought recycled paper arts to Sandra’s focus in her ephemera steampunk, boho, floral, vintage, and Victorian themed curated books. She teaches art and art business courses online, in galleries, and schools. Sandra gives traditional arts a contemporary life while still retaining practicality and function. Fueled by the fast-fashion rebellion, visible mending and craftivism, Sandra's zero-waste philosophy results in ethically made and thoughtfully re-fashioned textile, fibre, and recycled paper art. Sandra's life and art was deeply affected by the death of her daughter, Emily, on January 1st, 2021 due to complications from her May 2019 heart transplant. Sandra lives with her husband and special needs adult son, dividing her time between her home in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and her off-grid cabin-in-the-woods near Algonquin Park in Highlands East, Ontario.

Zero-Waste Textile & Fiber Artist • Craftivist • Visible Mending • Educator • Homesteading Traveler Email: Sandra@SandraClarke.ca Website: https://linktr.ee/sandraclarke ZERO-WASTE LIVING Craftivist and Visible Mending provide comfort at home, on our off-the-grid homestead, while traveling. Frugality takes form in my DNA as finding value and comfort in everything experience. Our summers are spent off-the-grid at our homestead near Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada raising chickens, bees, and practicing permaculture. Winters are spent traveling and enjoying the comfort of visiting favorite locations and discovering new beautiful destinations. The rest of our time is rooted in our wee townhouse in the city of Mississauga (near Toronto) where we've lived for over 38 years. The common thread is comfort & curiosity. Zero-waste textile art provides comfort and familiarity in the softness of creating unconventional art quilts and untangling skeins of yarn for wearable art. My art practice, like my children, have roots and wings. My gratitude is abundant for the art galleries & councils that support my creative practice. The comfort & curiosity of travel & researching sustainable travel experiences for myself or others resurfaced in 2024 leading to reviving my skills and credentials as a travel professional. The symbiotic nature of my world merged & I'm happy. ...........
