Sandrena Guest-Koning: Artist CV
"As an artist and photographer, I aim to create works that captivate and connect with viewers on a deeply personal level. I embrace both traditional techniques and unconventional approaches to push creative boundaries. My work transforms the overlooked, the ordinary, and the human experience, inviting viewers to see the world through a renewed and imaginative lens."
