About Me
“When I was little, the world made sense to me when I drew it on paper.”
Hello I’m Sam, I’ve been painting, drawing & printmaking for nearly 30 years.
I started my creative journey at Winchester, then Edinburgh Colleges of Art, graduating in 1994. Then in 2000, I opened my own art gallery in Clapham Common where I met and sold the work of some 80 other artists.
After children, marriage & dogs, we ended up in Suffolk where I gain much inspiration. My studio is a wonderful space in my own secret garden.
Community & creativity in others is important to me, so I host workshops, art lunches, and exhibitions to bring people together.
Please take a look at my work and don’t forget to join my mailing list - I’d love to keep in touch.
Garden Studio
Five years in the making, my Suffolk garden studio space is every inch an inspiring space.
It is the epitome of artistic shabby chic and intentionally a bit on the wonk. This secret garden holds not one, but two studio spaces in which to make work, as well as two outdoor spaces to sit, take in the sunshine, and commune with fellow workshop friends.
Career Highlights
Gallery Owner
In 2000 I owned a gallery in Clapham Common, London. I adored working with a range of artists and the wonderful memories will never leave me.
30 Years Creating
I registered as a self-employed artist in 1996. Many group exhibitions, solo shows, sales of works in stores such as John Lewis and hundreds of commissions later. I can honestly say that my chosen career in the Arts has been the right one for me.
dRAWING with others
I am a social drawing enthusiast and have setup and run many workshops, bringing communities together to create and inspire. This has helped me tremendously with my mental health through the years and has hopefully benefitted others.
