West Coast

The West Coast, Oregon in particular, has been a steady source of inspiration for my paintings and dabbles in photography over the years. It remains one of my favourite destinations in the world, the rough rugged coast lines, crashing waves, sights, smells, and sounds are always a draw.

Fly Tying

I created a series of three flies, for my Dad's 60th birthday present, and the positive feedback from both him, and the local fly fishing community has inspired me to expand from the initial three and continue making these intricate little paintings. While at first glance the whole "fishing thing" struck me as uninteresting, I've really come to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of fly tying in my research for this series.  The nuanced colours, detailed structure, history, and beauty hidden within functionality, appeals to my practice.

Cookie Art

Kekse Kunst - Cookie Art by Sam is a small business venture I pursued primarily between 2013-2015. I've turned my focus back toward more traditional mediums, but cookie art will always hold a special place. All cookies are on a scratch made Shortbread Cookie base, and decorated with a homemade Marshmallow Fondant, and gel food colourings, and are ~2.5"x2.5".
