Sam is a figurative Artist and Illustrator who works in many mediums but loves working in watercolour. She studied at the University of the West of England, Bristol graduating with a BA Hons in Graphics and Illustration.

Now working freelance, Sam has really developed her individual style. She has recently been elected an Associate member of Northampton Town and County Art Society and is also member of both Kettering and District Art Society and Northants and Rutland Open Studios, which has connected her to other inspirational local artists.
She has been a prize winner at both 2023 and 2024 NROS Central Exhibitions and first prize in 2024 KDAS annual exhibition. She currently has 2 paintings selected for the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Watercolour Prize Exhibition on display until early September and will be taking part in Northants and Rutland Open studios again this year.
