Skjoldvor was very found of using sand in her paintings and the technique was developed by her herself and was ground-breaking. The sand came with different qualities and could be sensed in different ways.
"On my journeys, I often look for exciting corals and shells on the beach and in the water. The corals are beautiful and provide a basic awareness of the earth. They have different organic forms, colors and patterns. Over time, the corals and shells die. They transform into sand and give a unique touch and magical expression. The sand can be touched by humans as well as it can touch human emotions. Sand is a sensual element to use in the paintings."

She often said that are so many aspects of joy in connecting with the sand, like imagine yourself rolling in the sand, playing with the sand and watching colorful corals with a wonderful color combination. Her paintings with sand on canvas are unique in that regard and provide a special look, feel and sensation;
