Sandra Blanchfield: Early Morning Light

InnLyte Studio Series with Sandra Blanchfield

In the second Seed Episode of the InnLyte Studio Series, Kilkenny-based oil and acrylic painter Sandra Blanchfield invites us into her home studio. Her space, bathed in the soft light of early morning, is where her vivid landscapes and portraits come to life.

We explore how her practice—inspired by the vast beauty of the Irish landscape, wildlife, and pets—is an important mindful anchor. For Sandra, painting is a dedicated session in presence, a moment of deep focus that cuts through daily clutter.

I just totally get engrossed into the artwork. I look at the detail, and I just feel relaxed, and I enjoy the experience because there's quietness.
