Artist Statement:

My name is Gretchen Sandiford, I am a practising artist living in my local communities of Chapeltown and Harehills. I studied and passed my Local and National Art and Design Diplomas at the local Art College in Leeds. I went on to develop my knowledge and skills at – Sheffield Hallam University and gained a Fine Art B.A. Hons. This degree also included prevailing African /African Caribbean cultural influences. I believe these prevailing influences are about how I identify myself as British, and African Caribbean.

As a Black woman, I often celebrate facts around African/ African Caribbean history as it instills positive feelings of delight and value to my life - which I invariably share with others around me.

I was told at art college by one of the tutor's, that my work relates very closely to jazz music. I find my creativity in many different medias. I work in textiles, painting, printing, collage, sculpture this includes working with clay, wood carvings and metal.

In addition to working in my Art practise, Mukishi Art and Crafts, I am currently employed as a supply teacher at various schools around Yorkshire.
