This piece was created as a high profile, tourism engagement activity. Snowtown was in need of a re-brand, therefore Joel Van Moore (VANS) and myself worked on this painting to highlight the amazing and generous community workers that work so tirelessly to contribute to the town.
My art connects with everyday folks and tells meaningful stories about people, place or culture.
I believe art should be both beautiful and functional - whether that means increasing tourism, creating brand awareness, or celebrating a local legend.
I have adapted the classical methods of oil painting, into a contemporary practice that results in unique visual effects that you see in my portfolio.
I aim for the type of painting that makes people stop in their tracks. The type of painting that people will travel to see.
I definitely do not seek to paint the type of painting that prompts the age-old question : "is this really considered art?"
It is my personal mission to elevate, and celebrate everyday people, telling their stories through classical techniques and careful planning.
I am personally inspired by jobs that demand beauty with a business outcome - whether that be increasing visitors, boosting engagement, or activating a space.
Yours Kindly,
Sam.
