We curate beautiful spaces, inside and out.
Environmental artist, interior and landscape designer, Sandra Adams, works at the intersection where nature and human environments meet.
Sandra founded The Nature of Things to explore the idea that we and everything we come in contact with are more than one thing. The lens in which we view the world and ourselves has form but can be shaped and reimagined; it can take on new meaning and expressed when we connect with nature. At this point, Sandra believes, we tap into our creative process and the full expression of who we are comes alive. She wants you to recognize that we all have a bit of artist in us. It is asking to be expressed. She wants to share her passion for natural beauty and explore with you what might be revealed in doing so. Lets get curious and playful together.
The Nature of Things Design is the vessel created for combining her diverse interest in and expressed experience with the natural world. Sandra’s long-standing work as a practicing artist informs her design process, which is intuitive; one she calls her second nature. The materials and forms she seeks out when curating and designing spaces, be they inside or out, provides us with an opportunity to enhance our connections to nature and the way we live, creating “feel good” energy.
How she works.
Sandra’s work is generative and engaging. She is collaborative by nature. Her desire is to share her stories and experiences through her work but they are only enhanced when learning yours. Because Sandra believes that the essence of nature can be found in all things, she continually looks for ways to use her knowledge to enhance people‘s relationship with and experience of the natural world—to receive input from it, as well as be influenced by it. Patterns, textures and colors offered by nature inspire Sandra. Her multidimensional approach to working with her many mediums is fluid and flexible. This allows her to experiment with her compositions, borrowing from her diverse experience with and knowledge of materials and finishes.
