Sandy Layton
1949 - Present
Before becoming an artist, Sandy Layton pursued a career as a psychotherapist working with children and adults, which gave her a wealth of experience in human relationships. This prompted her to want to explore her own life experiences and she pursued further studies, doing an MA in Fine Art at Kingston before undertaking an MA at the Royal College of Art (2018-2020). Her RCA dissertation, ‘Working Through’, explored the effects of trauma in the work of several photographers and was awarded a distinction. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including Creekside Open (2017) and the Royal West of England Academy (2019).
