Samantha began her interest in art at a young age. She participated in the art clubs in elementary school and soon began getting private lessons from a family friend, evolving in close relationships with her art teachers. 

Samantha is inspired by looking within herself. She uses her experience to fuel the work she creates. Exploring and utilizing different mediums, she found comfort in familiar materials. She has an interest that motivates her to push paper to its limits, creating miniatures, neighborhoods and other items. She maintains characteristics central around the self, home, what makes us who we are and demands a pronouncement: Where I’ve Been.
