Gypsy Cadillac is an art gallery and photography studio that brings together original collections and curated goods across different mediums to create a boutique art experience.
We believe in the details of well done artistry. To have the objects and experiences in our lives hold meaning as we celebrate the space to dream, see, and live.
Sandra Wallbank started asking questions at the young age of five. “What is this all about”? “I don’t get it”?
Those questions have propelled her into exploring storytelling and capturing the world around her.
Wallbank’s benevolent approach began her in the delicate art of editorial where a blink can make all the difference in an emotional interpretation. Her natural progression expanded her creative voice into videography, directing, and photography working in the music sector capturing tours, album releases, and music videos.
Joining forces with like-minded souls was the inspiration for her next steps. Philanthropy, being a voice, a translator of the human experience, to share and collaborate to build something meaningful, a place to come together.
Valarie Allyn Bienas started her connection with the visual arts early on watching her father paint, sculpt, photograph, and perform in theater.
It didn’t take her long to connect with the power of a camera. A perfect fit for her passion for storytelling and daydreaming eventually manifesting a journey and career in film, photography, documentaries, music, producing, and directing.
From premiering her first film effort at the Toronto Film Festival to being on tour with music photographing and documenting bands for over ten years her creative path has landed her in the delights and challenges of the creative worlds.
After three decades in the industry, Bienas took a departure into the inner world of loss. Time stopped when she lost her artist son to an overdose. A reinvention of life, self, art, and purpose blew through her being with bravery and defeat.
As an artist, her new incarnations represent an exploration of the human experience jumping into a raw expose of her grief in “Grief Beats” and her almost-released podcast “There Are No Words… But We Have A Few” which she collaborates with two other grieving mothers.
The drive towards meaningful creation has led to the partnering with friend and co-conspirator, Sandra Wallbank and the invention of Gypsy Cadillac.
