Sandra Marie Bara

Founder of

I'm a Jacksonville native, Florida girl. Art has been a defining quality of mine since birth. My earliest memories are of myself drawing, coloring, and dancing around my grandma's living room. Photography is a passion that I picked up as a parent. Now, I see the world through my lens.

I'm a mother, wife, sister, cousin, and friend. Developing my spirituality has become fundamental in my daily life. Through my meditations, I have come to discover my true self.

I'm looking forward to the growth of this brand and the beginning of a new community based on art and healing.

My Passions

Family

As a mother of a blended family, I find it extremely important to include family in every portion of our life. Striving towards being the best for myself and my family is my number one motivation.

Autism & Special Needs

Autism found it's way into my heart through several different means both personally and professionally. I am proud to be a stepmother, aunt, and friend to many individuals with ASD.

It is with an open heart that I offer my skills to assist individuals and families within this community. Especially with regards to photography. These unique indivuals require much patience and care while trying to capture their beauty and it's been one of my passions to help the world see those who cannot always express themselves.

ART/Photography

Doing art in my Grandma's house is one of my earliest memories. It has been with me for as long as I remember.

Practicing and learning new mediums brings me joy. Being able to look at my finished work or photograph is very healing. Accepting my talents has been a journey of its own.

Studying fine art and art history also helped me understand that the artists of the past have shared many of my struggles. Learning from them and their artistic processes continues to inspire me to be myself while expressing my art in my own way.

Travel

My endless curiosity and adventurous side keep me seeking the next place to explore and photograph. I believe that traveling opens us up to diversity and culture which broadens our horizons. My travel goals are to explore more of Asia and Central America.

Spirituality

My spiritual beliefs have changed throughout the years as I sought to find what felt like the truth to me. While finding my truth, I found myself.

Meditation was the gateway that led me to find my current spiritual peace. I enjoy chanting in Sanskrit and meditating in nature. As I continue on my spiritual journey I work towards seeking samadhi and enlightenment.

Art is another type of meditation that aids me in centering myself, processing thoughts/emotions, and healing.

My mission

My mission is to continue my growth journey through life. To continue to seek my higher self and to follow the one true calling I've had since I was a girl, which was to create and share my art. A passion for therapy and a need for community are the reasons I seek to reach out and interact with others.

My vision

My vision is to create a community that can come together and contribute unique talents and skills to healing work. This community aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment where we can collaborate and support one another, while also using creativity to bring healing and solace to those in need. Whether it's through artistic expression or spiritual tools, this community believes in the power of art to uplift spirits, inspire hope, and promote emotional well-being. By actively involving artists in the healing process, this vision seeks to harness the transformative power of art to create a positive impact on individuals and communities alike.
