About
Having grown up abroad, Samantha has experienced a number of other cultures and traditions which have inspired her work, including observing, first hand, Aboriginal artists, whose artwork she fell in love with.
A self-taught artist with a love of vibrant, lively colours, Samantha paints predominantly Aboriginal-style paintings, using techniques such as dotting. Traditionally, such paintings make use of earthy tones, but Samantha incorporates brighter shades, also deviating from traditional Aboriginal art by depicting animals not native to Australia.
