Samantha Sawyer grew up on the small island of Abaco, Bahamas, and has been drawn to creating art from a very young age. The slow pace of the island lifestyle, her Bahamian background, and her love for God's creation are integral parts of her life, thus informing her practice. Samantha holds a deep fondness for home and the memories collected there, all of which weave together in her body of work. She currently attends The Savannah College of Art & Design to pursue her career in the fine arts.
