She attended Eckerd College in Florida, graduating in 2012 with a BS in Marine Science and a BA in Visual Arts. Sam applies her knowledge from school and travels in her illustrations. Mangrove: ecology and identification
Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), black mangrove (Avicennia germinans), and buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus) Watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite (mixed media) on illustration board; 20" x 15" I find when you create pieces on subjects you have a good knowledge of, the finished work is much more comprehensive. Because I attended school in Florida and spent four years studying this important, and beautiful, ecosystem, I felt that Mangroves were the perfect subjects. Although I have since moved from that environment, it still holds a special place in my heart. As such, I would like to educate more people about these trees that play such an important role in our oceans. |
