Sam's ArtWorld

Greetings;

I am a modern contemporary artist rooted in the remarkable ethos of the boomer era. My preferred mediums are oils and acrylics. I create stylized art in saturated color, infused with spirituality and messaging (conscientious or not) inspired by my inner hippie. The style and palette I use are not only products of my artistic era but also the culmination of my unique journey and individual complexities.

i am neurodiverse. Because of my lived experience with neurodiversity, I am often compelled to explore extremes. My dalliance in the whimsical and the stark is a direct reflection of a mind constantly negotiating high contrast emotional and conceptual states. I use subtlety or boldness to evoke a feeling of familiarity and connection. My goal is to show these extremes in a way that resonates with a shared human experience.

I am a woman with a past finding new footing each day. I am building atop a foundation of love, curiosity, trust and mistrust, backward thinking and misdirection. I am grateful to know the crazy in this space is mine. I embrace it. I know the art chose me so I see it. I welcome it while i navigate this life journey thoughtfully and purposely, marked by an ever constant side eye wariness.

Then, I paint it.

Then, one day … I figure out why I did.

Welcome to my art world.
