Sandra Wallbank began her journey as a storyteller at the tender age of five when she first asked, “What is this all about?”. This simple yet profound question sparked an exploration of the world around her and her place within it. Fueled by her passion for philanthropy and wanting to understand the human experience, storytelling was the constant.
Her curiosity found its creative outlets in writing, photography, and video editorial work— expanding into thriving in the music industry. She captured the raw energy of tours, album launches, and music videos, to tell stories that resonated.
Joining forces with like-minded souls was the inspiration for her adventure, partnering with friend and co-conspirator Valarie Allyn Bienas.
The idea is clear - to build that which feels something.
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.
