Samantha is a professional multidisciplinary contemporary artist and arts worker based in regional Victoria. Her work represents her passion for family and community, feminism and her connection to her surrounds. Growing up in the family fashion business exposed her to a myriad of business and creative opportunities from an early age. This included representing a fashion label overseas and developing product shoots and international product campaigns. These early experiences helped Samantha to run and manage her own art career, which has spanned over 20 years and includes 13 solo exhibitions and numerous Australian and International Exhibitions and Art Fairs.
**Created works will be exhibited, photographed, and digitised images uploaded to the Geelong Regional Libraries website.
