After spending two years at Blackpool College of Art, Stephanie Sandercock spent her twenties working between Tokyo and London. A musician and songwriter, she released three albums in her thirties under her maiden name 'Stephanie Kirkham'. Moving from Lancashire to Cornwall in 2014, she married and began painting full-time.
Captivated by the Cornish coastal rock, especially at Gwithian, she uses various plasters to create her unique abstracts. This body of work has gained the recognition of the Penwith Society and St Ives Society of Artists.
Sandercock's paintings have a mysterious force within them, perhaps mirroring the artist's sense of being deeply grounded as she 'plugs into the energy of the rock'. Lines and curves can be seen like pathways across ploughed fields, edges of boats or distant lights in a harbour. Immersed in her local environment, she captures the energy of the area by building layers of plaster and paint which she scratches and cuts into, giving a higly textured feel.
She has held four solo exhibitions at Penwith Gallery. Of the most recent, Alchemy, local art critic Frank Ruhrmund wrote: '...her three-dimensional, semi-sculptural compositions are as accomplished and appealing as they are impressive and highly individual.'
Her work has been exhibited widely in Cornwall, and she is represented by Thompson's Galleries in London.
Submitting from Wadebridge to the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society's Annual Exhibition in September of 1846, Sanders was awarded the Bronze Medal for Wanderings of a Pencil.
Iona was born in the far West of Cornwall, and has spent most of her life there. Her early days were spent combing the beaches for treasures, and pressing flowers, which would go on to become the subject matter for many of her paintings.
Iona left Cornwall to study History of Art at Bristol before returning to work and raise a family. When her children were young she painted canvases to brighten up their rooms. This led to commissioned works which gave her the confidence to paint professionally. Recently her paintings have explored simplicity (in her otherwise busy domestic life), often paying particular attention to mundane, everyday objects. Her passion is derived from the landscapes that have surrounded her all of her life, and the sea view which is the predominant feature of her studio. Her style is free, with a naivity that makes her pieces like a breath of sea air.
