Samantha (b.1988) is an emerging Australian Artist currently living in Googong on Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country, in Australia. Repurposed household objects and both natural and synthetic plants are recurring subject matter in her artworks. Her Art Practice reflects a desire to translate the thoughtless culture of disposability through pigment and texture.
