Your first thought may be about the name – Why JibeMaster? . The jibe is a sailing term describing a specific move to change your direction.

Like a jibe, a special image can initiate a change in direction, emotion or mood. Discovering an image that “talks to you” can be inspiring or calming and should never be ignored. It can take you to a place that only you appreciate; or bring you to somewhere new and exciting; it can help to start you upon a new journey; or help you to discover a new passion; or result in self-reflection. The possibilities are endless. I hope that you will view my images and experience something new, perhaps even a change in direction - your very own “perfect jibe.”

Sandra works in charcoal to explore and celebrate the world beyond color.
