 Our pop-up art show at Capita was an incredible success!
I feel truly fortunate to know Lindsay Hadley, a powerhouse in our community with an extraordinary gift for elevating every scene. Also, here’s a rare photo with my dear mentor, Jess Larsen, who changed my life 18 years ago by inspiring me to leave my corporate job and pursue my passion as an artist. I’m deeply grateful for our vibrant community and everyone dedicated to making a positive impact. Thank you to everyone who came out to show their support.  Pop Up Art Show
January 21 6 PM Curated by Lindsay Hadley https://www.capitafinancialnetwork.com/ A portion of the sales proceeds will help those affected by the California fires.  Exciting news! I'm thrilled to announce the return of my limited-edition hand-painted Ugg boots in collaboration with Gallery Mar!
When Maren, the amazing owner of Gallery Mar, visited my studio and spotted my Uggs, she sparked the idea to share them with all of you. As a fashion lover, I couldn't resist! The love from our community was overwhelming, so here they are again! You can choose between the Glam or Gritty aesthetic. Don’t wait—order by January 30th for a special Valentine’s Day delivery. For all the details and to grab your pair: https://www.gallerymar.com/2025/01/samantha-dasilva-bespoke-uggs-for-valentines-day  TITLE: Golden Ascent - Pathway to the Divine
MEDIUM: Mixed Media SIZE: 20" x 16" In "Golden Ascent: Pathway to the Divine," I explore the journey toward spiritual enlightenment and self-discovery. This piece visually represents transformative steps illuminated by gold pigment, symbolizing hope and divine connection. Incorporating local materials from Utah, this work reflects the interplay between the earthly and the ethereal. "Golden Ascent" invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys, reminding us that every step can lead us closer to our higher selves and the interconnectedness of all existence.  Art truly shines when it’s a shared experience! One of my favorite moments is seeing my creations in a client’s home, especially when it’s for my beloved sister-in-law! These diptychs were inspired by the vibrant hues and dynamic waves of Hawaii, where I crafted them years ago. Made with beach sand, crushed seashells, and rainwater, each piece holds a piece of that beautiful paradise.
 Embrace the journey: live to create your art, rather than merely creating art to survive. Let your passion be your purpose.
 Maui truly is a magical place. Imagine swimming in the ocean, surrounded by the enchanting sounds of whales—it’s like a natural sound bath!
 I came across this old piece of writing today and felt inspired to share it. Happy Winter Solstice, everyone! Let’s celebrate the rebirth of the sun and the return of the light.
