 BEFORE & AFTER Dining Room Transformation Thanks to the creative mavericks at Root'd this dining room received a custom wall painting. What do you think of the results? I am beyond honored to have contributed my particular hand to this exciting project.  A sense of place. Bringing the outride in. An homage to the environment in which they were created. The paintings in this series were made using: iron-rich Utah dirt, salt from The Great Salt Lake, metallic powders, plaster, repurposed paint, and local newspapers. All works available at 15th Street Gallery  I love creating custom paintings that are in complete harmony with a client's space. These tiny triptychs were made for a gorgeous remodel in one of Salt Lake City's most iconic neighborhoods: The Avenues. Quite often, I have privy to the space (in all it's beautiful chaos) during the construction/remodel process. I love this! I feel such a huge sense of honor and responsibility to get it right, and contribute my particular hand to a client's home sanctuary.  A big thank you to Always Evolve Magazine + Workshop SLC for featuring my work! I am so grateful for local artists & local businesses who band together to connect, support & uplift each other. I am honored to be affiliated with such a talented roster of kind, creative, visionary humans.  Integrating Materials from Outside to Inside Capturing the light Calming the Chaos Dirty Zen Series 2021  Fearless Abstract Painting RETREAT in Costa Rica is OPEN FOR REGISTRATION! Thank you Imiloa Institute for the opportunity to gather, connect, learn & create in such an idyllic setting. For more information & to register: https://imiloainstitute.com/retreat/fearless-abstract-painting/  One of my favorite painting installations of all time. This rockstar client purchased 6 of my original paintings for their stunning home in Kamas, Utah. By using loads of texture, sophisticated colors, and "bringing the outside in" with paintings made with locally sourced salt, sand and sawdust, these painting add, not compete with the breathtaking views of the vicinity. Truly, this is a home made a sanctuary. A huge thanks to Hudson Home Design for making this a reality, and for Kate Osborne Photography for the lovely installation shots.  If you've taken one of my Fearless Abstract Painting workshops, you know it's a lot of information to digest. Quite often there is so much "unlearning" to do because these concepts and techniques are so unorthodox. With this in mind, I've compiled this quick reference guide to some of my most popular techniques for you to use. Enjoy! And as always, please feel free to contact me with any questions & suggestions. Your partner in FearLESS art-making, Samantha |
