Paintings By Samantha, LLC

Live Event Painter

"Although she spends more time observing parties than participating, Samantha Smith is no wallflower.  Creating quick snapshots of reality on canvas, painted with abstract forms, Smith captures the raw emotion people express during a celebration.  From baby showers to weddings, fashion shows to parties, Smith's paintings leave a permanent print with more character than any photograph."  Carrie Severson/Desert Living Magazine 2004
