Stephanie Sandercock, Lancashire-born artist moved to Cornwall in 2014. Captivated by the Cornish coastal rock, she uses various mediums to create her highly textured work. Stephanie is a member of the St. Ives Society of Artists, Penwith Society and represented by Thompson’s Galleries, London. She has a studio in the heart of St. Ives at Whites Old Workshops, Porthmeor Rd. 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 in the harbour or village lights in the distance. 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 highly textured feel.
St. Ives Times & Echo – December 2018 ‘Godolphin To The Sea’
‘Many will remember her first, Gwithian Rocks, held there two years ago, acclaimed at the
time as a promising debut, the works in her current show more than fulfil that promise, and
should not be missed.
In every sense this is an impressive show. As appealing as it is accomplished.”
– Frank Ruhrmund.
St. Ives Times & Echo – July 2022 ‘Alchemy’
“Her fourth solo show Alchemy, held in the Studio Gallery within the Penwith Gallery. One of
the meanings of the title she has given her solo show is ‘a miraculous transformation’, and
although she doesn’t change the base metals she uses in her work into actual gold, she
comes close to doing so.
It’s safe to add that most viewers will be happy to accompany her on her journey. From Wild
Ideas and Tiger Iron to Evening Clarity and Magnetic Field her three-dimensional, semi-
sculptural compositions are as accomplished and appealing as they are impressive and
highly individual. Well worth a visit.”
– Frank Ruhrmund.
