Description

Celebrity was inspired by my fascination with fame and living in LA for a number of years. For a few years I lived in West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach. The gym where I went was the work out place of many LA actors and models. Those already famous and those wanting to be.It was where Perfect was filmed. At first it all blew my mind coming face to face with actors I had grown up watching and wanting to marry like David Cassidy. There were 100's of famous people that you would deal with on a daily basis. Very quickly I came to realize that they were just people and some were nice and others were not so nice. Also what an illusion Film, TV and modelling are and how the reality is very different sometimes. However the thing that never changed was the obsession with looks and body image and the need to be skinny, beautiful and perfect. A gym instructor friend of mine ate only Popcorn because it had no calories and she wanted to be Skinner than her famous clients. Body builder instructors that lived only on rice for the same reason. I remember one instructor having kidney failure as a result of treating her body so badly. It was very had not to get caught up in the image thing. It is a disease in LA and I fell for it for a awhile. Looking back now I know first hand the lengths that people will go to to achieve fame and the price tag that goes along with it.

Artist Statement

�From the day I picked up a brush I felt I had found my reason for being�.

Sandra Marie Adams lives on a small island off the coast of New Zealand.

Sandra�s work is often driven by a strong autobiographical element. Her paintings are mostly an outward manifestation of the world inside her head. Sandra loves to always be challenging herself as an artist. As a result her subject matter tends to varied. Sandra describes herself as a colourist and uses colour to evoke mood and emotion.

Waiheke Island, where she lives, features strongly in her paintings. Often the beautiful seascapes are used as the background for a story, comment or observation.

Sandra has always been passionate about the injustices in the world and the interplay of good and evil. Sandra often explores these themes in her art. Sandra has also endlessly questioned the validity of the conventional biblical stories. She enjoys portraying her own controversial version of the truth through her art.
