Hi, I'm Samantha, an Adelaide based artist who is currently focusing on painting creatures from nature, especially birdlife, but also create figures, still life and comical characters. I mainly use acrylics, oils and pencil, but have also worked in charcoal and collage. I have taken a range of short art courses over the years, including in drawing, oil painting and cartooning, at the Adelaide Central School of Art, WEA and TAFE.
I am also a non-fiction author who has written two historical true crime books and collaborated on an historical biography of a pioneer aviator from South Australia.
Aside from this I have a passion for public health and have been a public health academic and now work as a health management consultant.
