Sam brings a playful spirit to his offbeat art. Textured acrylic paintings are rendered in a naive, outsider style. His newest work explores trees in the County’s landscape.

A graduate of Ontario College of Art and Queen’s University, Sam was a full-time high school art teacher.  He also taught painting courses at Haliburton School of the Arts, Loyalist College and numerous art workshops.  After retiring from teaching in 2013, Sam returned to making art full time in the little paradise he found in Wellington, Ontario.  Throughout his career, Sam has participated in numerous solo and group shows and his work has been collected throughout Canada and the world.
