Born in 1972, South Africa.  Sashenka studied a BA in Psychology but had always been drawn to the visual creative expression of emotion. She painted informally in the studio of Laurens Barnard  renowned artist and film maker. There, she refined her own visual and conceptual vocabulary that emerged through her focus on the points of human interaction, expression and emotion.

Sashenka’s  work can be found at the Film and Publication board headoffice and private art collections in London, Spain and Argentina. She will be participating in her first exhibition abroad in New York in June 2013. She currently lives and works in Pretoria, South Africa.
