Living in the affectionately dubbed “Garden City” (aka Singapore), Samantha draws inspiration from her surroundings. Using a combination of gestural, impulsive movements, layering and detailed work, Samantha has a style that is all her own.

Samantha was born in Ascot, England in 1983. Growing up, she shared a passion for art with her father and was surround by his artworks which adorned the walls of the family home.

Art was always a favourite pastime and a strong part of her education. In 2004, Samantha graduated with honours in a Fine Art degree from Bath Spa University.

Upon graduation she began a career in sales, which lead her to a successful role in IBM. She then started a family and devoted her time to being a full-time mum to her children in a little village in Berkshire. Despite having her hands full, she still made time for art - taking on commission works, painting and drawing pets and children for her clients.

It wasn’t until the family moved to Singapore that Samantha was able to fully embrace her a career in art. In 2019, she was signed to her first gallery.

“Art has been a part of my life and education for as long as I can remember. I never want to stop learning and developing the practice.

“It’s amazing how painting can become such a part of your life. If I don’t have a painting in progress or art on my walls, I fee empty somehow. I look at the world differently. Seeing everything as a potential painting.”

Samantha has participated in a number of art fairs and exhibitions across Asia and her works can be found in many private collections across the region.
