A Shimmer of Saffron


The glint of monks’ robes, a shimmer of saffron through banana tress as robes dry in the sunlit breeze. Fire and shadow flicker and dance in the night.
Blurring the distinction between photography and painting, Sandy Shum’s Impressionistic Photography images are infused with vibrant colors, rich textures, movement and light.

Artist Statement
I wish to provide a moment to pause and reflect on the wonder and grace in the dreamlight of daily life.

Impressionistic Photography
Infusing her photographs with movement and light, the artist alters the appearance of the familiar, as breezes transform reflections on clear water.
