Mia Sandner brings her acclaimed mixed media sculptures which were just featured in the State of the Art Show at
the Telus world festival last month in Whistler BC to The Beaumont Studios , Opening show May 17 from 8-12pm. Mia Sander hails from the picturesque town of Christina Lake BC, She grew up Snow boarding, skate boarding and running around in the dirt! Instinctively Mia has never strayed far from the Mountains since. She is a BFA Graduate of Simon Fraser University, a multiple artist grant recipient, and has Shown her work all over BC. Mia currently
resides in Nelson BC, working out of her home studio and snowboarding full time. Although Mia has spent much time in Vancouver, since her Grad show at SFU this will be Mia’s first solo show in Vancouver, and the Beaumont Studios is honored to host such an amazing talent.

It should be mentioned that one of the most fascinating aspects of Mia’s creative process is that she is literally involved with every step. Using the bones of found dead animals, Mia buries and unearths, pressure washes and sterilizes the bones herself. Her art is a process of Resurrection, an homage to the lives of dear friends lost and a tribute to the eternal cycle of creation and destruction. Mia creates immortal pieces of beauty, by mounting the bones and skulls of forgotten beasts on the surface of old discarded skateboards, adorning the pieces with vintage jewellery , detailed painted backgrounds and bold brilliant colors her work becomes creatures unlike this world has ever seen. Much like her dear friend and professional skateboarder Josh Evin, who’s life and death was a large inspiration for this particular body of work, Mia’s work reflects the ability to see beauty and magic in even the darkest of places, she reminds us of the infinite cycle of creation and destruction while allowing us a glimpse as to
how one might create Diamonds from Dust. Opening Show is from 7 to midnight Thursday May 17 there will be a by donation bar and music by Andy Soloman.
