Book blurb:

At a gathering to mark their 50th year of leaving school, Sandra McGregor was missing. Dolores Fleischer, the artist (our artist), tells the riches-to-rags story of an unsung talent overlooked by mainstream South African art. The author has traced over 80 of Sandra McGregor’s paintings, mixed media works and drawings.

“This is where I must paint!” Sandra exclaimed when introduced to District Six in 1962.

For the next eighteen years she worked amongst the people, grew to know and love them, to respect them; the warmth of this misguided return was profound. She “lived” her material. The people of District Six and the destruction of their lives by a social engineering experiment had a great impact on a sensitive artist, but Sandra McGregor recorded it in a remarkable and individual form.
