Description
I love angels. Going back a few years now I had a series of Angelic encounters that I could not explain. It was as a result of this series of events that I began my journey as an artist. I remember a voice saying to me " painting will set you free" and it has. When I first started painting I was hopeless. A voice used to talk to me and tell me what to do next (and sometimes still does). I know sounds nutty .but that is how I learnt to paint. You could argue that it was my inner voice I like to think it was/is the spiritual world giving me a hand. Painting is the one place where I am really truly happy so I am grateful to whoever or whatever set me on that path. Angelic Flowers represents the light being delivered to where it is needed.

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.

An angel (from the Greek ἄγγελος - ángelos[1]) is a supernatural being or spirit, often depicted in humanoid form with feathered wings on their backs and halos around their heads, found in various religions and mythologies.
The theological study of angels is known as "angelology" . In Zoroastrianism and Abrahamic religions they are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between Heaven and Earth, or as guardian spirits or a guiding influence.[2]
The term "angel" has also been expanded to various notions of spirits found in many other religious traditions. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks.[3]
In art, angels are often depicted with bird-like wings on their back, a halo, robes and various forms of glowing light.[4]
