Samantha has a BFA in Fine Art from Oregon State University and completed the Correspondence Course with Turps Art School in 2023.
She recently exhibited with Blue Shop Gallery in “When the Curtain Falls” late last year and also at the London Art Fair 2025. Samantha showed 2 works last year in Los Angeles in “Taste: a taste of the British art scene” with OHSH Projects and was also longlisted for the Contemporary British Painting Prize and the Beep Painting Prize.
My work is concerned with capturing immediate, split-second moments; the sense of an instantaneous experience or sensation, held indelibly and permanently in the swirling application of paint over a slick surface. In the act of painting, I carefully manoeuvre and slide translucent layers of oils over a slippery enamel ground: brushing, softening, scratching, wiping back, my goal is to disturb the oily glazes of colour until I capture and secure my desired image and, more importantly, an accompanying sense of something. My focus is to present the souvenir of a sensation: a suggested token to spark the piecing together of a possible narrative by the viewer. I enjoy giving a photographic sensibility to the painting in order to further the sense of a snapshot of a forgotten experience: the possibility of an old keepsake found down the back of the sofa. She is a member of Contemporary British Portrait Painters.
