It is here in the Southwestern desert that she finds a continuing source of inspiration for her unique style of painting. Sandra is primarily a self-taught artist. Over the years, her natural artistic progression has carried her through several mediums and styles. Her style has always been very labor-intensive; with her colored pencils she used techniques of burnishing and layering of colors that allowed for highly realistic artwork. These same skills, as well as her amazing sense of color and composition, are the foundation of the wonderful acrylic paintings that Sandra creates today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Goudy Old Style',serif;\"\u003eMany artists go through phases of development before they find that with which their souls are at peace. Sandra has found this inner artistic peace in the petroglyphs and pictographs of ancient Native Americans. These ancient people left the traces of their lives upon earth’s architecture of rock and these enduring images are a testimony of their need to communicate. Rock art was not produced as simply an artistic expression, but as a part of ritualistic, spiritual, and social concerns that were a major part of life. Many petroglyph symbols and images remain a mystery to us.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThousands of years ago, when ancient artist-shaman pecked, scratched, and painted these images, they did not leave us an explanation as to their meaning. It is clear that only the artist knew the meaning of certain images, but we can deduce the basic principles behind their work. These primitive depictions were utilized to communicate basic concerns; to invoke gods; to portray vision quests; to induce fertility, health, and success; to perpetuate myths and legends; to identify and claim territory; or simply say “I was here.” Today each one of us interprets these sacred images differently within our own spiritual being.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Goudy Old Style',serif;\"\u003eEach original piece starts with a well-crafted, irregularly shaped wooden panel.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThese panels are the ground on which Sandra performs her distinctive style of acrylic paintings.

The images portrayed in Sandra’s paintings are based on authentic petroglyphs. Using her artistic license, Sandra paints these images in her own compositions.

The rain has also brought with it a gentle breeze that swirls along the canyon wall. This awakening breeze brings the chill of many winters and the warmth of a thousand summers. The wind also brings a great life force, which it has carried across mountains and plains to this spiritual place. A rain magic has been summoned by the spirits of this place and by the reverently placed prayers that shamans have etched upon the rocks long ago. Petroglyph sites like this are difficult to interpret, they are often spiritual in nature and filled with images and symbols representing supernatural deities and spiritual beliefs. Some rock art sites seem to record a specific event in ancient history, but those are rare. This place is alive with images and symbols of everyday life, from etchings depicting a hunting party to a trio of maidens carrying water, to an abundance of Bison, Elk, and Bear. The endurance, stability, and wisdom of the turtle is also represented here. This sacred place tells a story of abundance and success. The main contributor to that abundance is rainfall and a continued source of clean clear water. An elaborately etched image of a rain shaman dominates this site. The cloud motif above his head and the rain flowing from his outstretched arm, are a lasting prayer for rainfall. Below a cloud of encroaching lichen, a spiral sun symbol shines its life giving light and the time worn image of Tlaloc, the goggle-eyed Mesoamerican rain god, brings a powerful rain magic to this place. The rocks are covered in symbols of abundance and fertility. Reverently etched images of the majestic elk, lumbering bison and rabbits encourage these animal spirits to return to this place and to thrive. And a trio of bears enhance the magic of this place. These ancient bear images have been carefully etched with heart lines and symbols within their stylized bodies. This was done to honor the bear and to evoke the power of one of the most revered animals in North America. The bear is a symbol of great strength, fierceness, and courage. The spirit of this magnificent animal has protected this sacred canyon for generations and will continue to protect this sacred canyon, for many sunrises to come.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sandra Brestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50767921905750,"sku":null,"price":8480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/3537\/8518\/files\/SUNRISECANYON40X76tripRGB1000p.jpg?v=1792434207"},{"product_id":"ancient-spirits","title":"Ancient Spirits","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis incredible original acrylic painting on wood panel is created by artist Sandra Brestel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements: 26\"H 52\"W\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA curtain of lichen slowly descends upon these sacred images, threatening to conceal them and to erode the stone upon which they were reverently etched, painted, and pecked, so long ago. Lichen is one of nature's erosion tools. It is a very slow growing moss like algae, which appears in a variety of colors. Lichen softens the rock surface and causes it to crumble away. This erosion process takes thousands of years, and while the spirits of this place are immortal, the sacred petroglyphs and pictographs are not. Time and the elements are slowly fading them with each passing day.\n\nA trio of reverently etched and painted figures seem to float upwards on the rocks. Their arms loose at their sides as their legs and feet seem to propel them through the emerald realm of the spirits. Their trapezoid shaped bodies are filled with sacred patterns and symbols, and their elaborate headdresses and masks are so far from ordinary, that they must certainly be apparitions seen in an ancient shaman’s dream, and these etched images contain and protect the spiritual essence of these supernatural beings.\n\nAll of this imagery adds to the complex spiritual nature of this site and with all these elements in one place, it becomes easy to understand this place as a doorway to the spirit realm. The source of magic that keeps this doorway open, lies within the handprints. Handprints create a strong human bond to the spirits. Placed upon the stone thousands of years ago, this magic endures. When a shaman etches or paints the shape of his hand upon the rock, he has identified himself to the spirits in a very personal way, and this act creates a lasting prayer to the spirits that reside here.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sandra Brestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50768467165270,"sku":null,"price":4480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/3537\/8518\/files\/ANCIENTSPIRITS26X52tripRGB1000p.jpg?v=1792434974"},{"product_id":"warrior-ridge","title":"Warrior Ridge","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis incredible original acrylic painting on wood panel is created by artist Sandra Brestel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements: 26\"H 31\"W\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe cool morning air carries the sound of trickling water and bird song. A line of trees on the ridge add to this peaceful morning, as the wind drifts through their branches the trees join in the morning conversation and begin to speak in their soft rustling voices.\n\nLong ago this place may not have been as peaceful as it is today. The ancient trees on the ridge, the fractured rocks of this canyon, and the reverently etched petroglyphs, all tell a story of this place. They tell a story of a powerful war magic, and they speak of the sounds of ancient battles, and shrill war cries that are forever locked within these rocks and etched images.\n\nA petroglyph site may have many things etched within its spiritual past. During the long life cycle of these ancient rocks there are additions made. Over many years, other migrating clans leave their marks, images, and prayers upon this sacred place and in some ways it becomes a history of the area.\nWhile the flute playing Kokopelli is a symbol of celebration, it is the images of conflict that dominate this site. The shield bearing warriors, arrow symbols, and horned mask, are all related to victory in battle and protection.\n\nThe reverently etched images of the Thunderbird and the Bear create a very powerful war magic and prayer of protection for these ancient warriors. The Thunder bird is linked to the great sky spirits and it is a powerful protector with divine authority. While the Bear brings an immense power of courage and leadership to any battle. It is the Bears powerful and lumbering forward gait that is impossible to stop. Any warrior would welcome The Bear as their spirit animal, when going into battle.\n\nThere are several symbols that depict an end to this ancient conflict. The flute playing Kokopelli is a sign of celebration. The arrow images mean several things. They symbolize protection and defense and also an alliance of friendship. The image of the broken arrow depicts an end to the conflict and is a symbol of peace. Another important image here is that of the interconnected triple spiral. This symbol is the journey of a returning warrior, it is a symbol of the homecoming.
