About Samantha Chappell:
Sam Chappell an acrylic painter living in Portland, Maine. Having spent her life shuttling up and down the East Coast, she has a soft spot for both coastal scenes and the views and hiking paths further inland. From an early age, Sam had a love of art and design, but it wasn't until 2020 when she found herself with a lot of free time and in need of a creative outlet – which quickly snowballed into a daily painting practice and has now become a full-time career.
Sam's work relies on a play of colors and expressive brushstrokes to relate the whole experience of a landscape, in the hopes that the viewer can build their own relationship and emotional attachment to it.
Her paintings are love letters to her favorite places, records of where she has been, and places she dreams of going.
