Hello, l’m Samantha, a wildlife and nature lover and an artist working from my studio in country, Victoria, Australia.
Art has always played a significant role in my life and it wasn’t until around 2014 that l started to exhibit and sell my artworks at local art exhibitions. This was a great motivation for me to explore new ideas and push my skills further and start to find my artistic voice.
My art is heavily inspired by wildlife and nature. I create original and unique artworks and l mainly work with pencil, acrylic paint and pastel.
Within each of my paintings and drawings l aim to achieve a softly rendered finish, blending realism with delicate textures to create intricate scenes that evoke a sense of serenity and wonder, often adding an element of imaginative realism.
The further l dive deeper into my art career as to the what and why l create, my focus and passion always leads me back to painting and drawing the animals that l love.
I am very grateful that many of my artworks now reside throughout Australia and also internationally.
