Welcome to Sandrilene!
Hello! My name is Sandra Kirpalani and I am a self-taught sewist, embroidery artist, weaver, painter, muralist and lover of anything vintage! I produce my artwork under the label “jayestar designs”.
In addition to fine art and murals, I also makes houseware items like coasters, pillows, curtains and clothing. I went to school for design and practiced as an interior designer, full-time, for over 10 years.
My work reflects a love of craft mixed with fine art and focuses on color and texture. I like to layer upcycled materials in my pieces and work mostly in the area of fiber arts and collage. I also have a deep love for fashion and creating one of a kind wearable pieces. My work features bright color, embroidery, fabric, text and painting with a sense of humor, and often, a message.
Sandrilene Designs is the name of my studio, where I bring all off the things I love to do together. You can visit my studio locally at Mainframe Studios, #351 at 900 Keosauqua Way, Des Moines, IA 50309. We host open studios on the first Friday of every month.
