Conceptual Stylized Realism: Prints and Portrait Commissions

Read My Story...
​Sandra Lather Benson – Artist Statement
My work is rooted in honoring the sacredness of human experience. Through portraiture and visual storytelling, I seek to capture not only a likeness, but the presence of the soul within each subject. Whether I’m painting from life, memory, or spirit, I aim to illuminate quiet strength, vulnerability, and the enduring connection we share as human beings.
My process is contemplative and intuitive. I often begin with deep listening — to a person's story, to silence, to what wants to emerge. What follows is not just painting but witnessing. Color, line, and gesture become a form of prayer and reverence.
My work has been described as both personal and archetypal — intimate, yet universally resonant. I believe this is because each face holds a mirror to the collective human story. It is this timeless thread I try to follow, and share, through each canvas.
As I prepare to share my work with a wider circle of collectors, I remain devoted to authenticity, excellence, and grace in all I create. Art, for me, is not merely a product. It is legacy, relationship, and healing.

​Why I create art?
It has always been my blessing to be a creative person.  MyARTSite.BiZ is about the love of sharing and the love of people.  I am also about inspiring ALL peoples to be creative in their own way and have mentored artists for years. My style of work tends to be conceptual in a realism style. This means that my creative reflections may speak about "signs of the times".
  • When people ask, “what does this painting or that painting mean?” I tell them: In a world torn apart; I want people to know that God is my Hope, my Strength, and my Salvation. God is my Provider, my Joy, my Confidence, and my Healer. It's personal, Christ brings it all together, through Love.
  • So mostly, I try to keep a loving and hopeful perspective in my work. But don't write me off because my creativity leans in on a spiritual emphasis, I am still very communicative about practical and societal norms. My focus can  beget deeply religious, political and sociological discussion. Sometimes you may think you are just looking at a pretty picture, but I recommend, keep your eyes and your heart open to get the true meaning.
