Welcome! I'm Sam and I'm a Canadian painter. My mission is to produce beautiful works of art that illicit a feeling of joy and happiness, perhaps triggering nostalgia or dislodging a distant memory. 

 

I'm struck by the beauty of nature, how it grounds us and puts everything into perspective.

My work usually focuses on elements found in nature:

a moody sky, a budding flower, an animals' expression, the reflections on water, the decay and cracks in bone, the glow from a candle's flame. A single lifetime isn't enough time for me to study and inspect even a small fraction of the incredible places, objects and feelings that we can find by simply going outside and being. 

I know that when I'm creating any painting, I come to the canvas in a relaxed and thoughtful frame of mind and hope it's conveyed in each and every piece of art. Each piece is a study where I get to dissect and examine every part of the picture; I wouldn't wish to be doing anything else.
