Original Art by Sandra Bocas

Sandra Bocas is a multi-media artist living in Olympia with a passion to contribute to the depth and richness of the Thurston County art scene.  Sandra grew up in Trinidad having moved there with her family when she was five.  She enjoyed an extensive career in fashion that spanned over 30 years becoming a highly skilled hair and make-up artist hired by Andy Warhol's The Factory and Interview Magazine's top celebrities and super models.

Sandra has always been fascinated by the character behind the mask, which is revealed in her startling array of portraits.  Sandra's style could be described as a blend of emotion and 'soul expressionism'.  Indeed the memories of the light and colors of Trinidad and Tobago, her mother's birth place, can be seen as THE influence in her play with color.
