Samantha Black believes life is like a blank canvas, and through her art, she hopes to inspire others to fill theirs with love, passion, and beautiful moments of peace and joy. Her paintings reflect her philosophy of embracing layers, imperfections, and the small details that make life unique.

Working boldly and intuitively, Samantha allows her brush and paint to flow freely, keeping the drips, layering memories, and letting stories emerge naturally. She paints big and vibrant, with no set expectation of the finished piece—each work unfolding like an adventure. Some days are a challenge, others pure gold, but every moment fills her heart. In both life and art, she finds beauty in imperfections.

Originally from Northern Ireland, Samantha now calls the charming city of Barrie, just north of Toronto, her home. While she treasures the rolling green hills and rugged coastline of her birthplace, she equally embraces Canada’s warm summers and snowy winters—the perfect season for painting. Through her work, Samantha hopes to encourage others to notice life’s small wonders and to do what they love, just as she does.
