Successful Canberra Business Woman Sandra Moffat of ‘’The Walking Clinic’ celebrates 60th birthday by having her portrait painted by well known Canberra artist Barbara van der Linden
This weekend Sandra will celebrate her 60th birthday on Sunday 24th August with close friends and family. As a present to herself Sandra commissioned well known Canberra portrait artist Barbara van der Linden to paint her portrait. The portrait combines traditional and New Media and will be on display for the first time at Sandra’s home for her guests to view while sipping champagne. The Artist will be present.
Sandra met Barbara in 1966 when they were both studying Fine Arts at the first Canberra School of Art operating at the Kingston Bus Depot. Barbara went on to study Graphic Design at East Sydney tech, while Sandra changed her path and followed a successful career in podiatry. Sandra became a partner of The Walking Clinic formerly known as ACT Podiatry Services which was the first fully operational Podiatry Centre in Canberra bringing a whole new dimension of Podiatric Care to the ACT and surrounds. The clinic is one of Canberra’s success stories and has been operating since the early 1980s.
Barbara and Sandra have recently crossed paths again and as a result have come together on this project, which Barbara says was a labour of love and a great deal of fun. According to Barbara the painting portrays a strong woman who likes to balance her busy demanding life with a little fun with friends. The four portraits on the left of the painting show four sides to Sandra’s personality. The painting is strong and clean in no-nonsense colours that go well with the interior of her home. Barbara combines Traditional Media with New Media, which is made possible through her skills in Fine Arts and Graphic Design.
