Samantha Jane Anderson is a visual artist primarily working with paint, mixed-media and printing techniques. Her work responds instinctively to her inner narratives of grief, joy, isolation and healing. These primal instincts lead to a more complex reading through the work that unfolds within a layering of materials onto a substrate using acrylics and mixed media.

The making of the work finds a rooted connection to emotional layers residing as shadows that have been neglected and are now nurtured to find expression and acceptance. Turning to a philosophy of the feminine, She has found female archetypes in the trinity; “she” speaks of wisdom and self-acknowledgment, bringing light to the darkness.

The conclusion is a body of work with colour at the core of its expression. These colours are interwoven through a palette of emotions; blue may be interpreted as calm and green as healing, the heart, life and growth.
