Samantha Gales: Colorful Clashings
Samantha is an artist based in Wichita, KS. She specializes in sculpture, drawing and painting. She likes to engage in contradictions of what makes a painting vs what makes a sculpture. As a mixed-race woman, she chooses to represent herself and her heritage through the mixed media materials she integrates into her works. Her environment growing up greatly shaped who she is now as well as her values and art practices. Growing up in a large family, Samantha had to get creative when she wanted to make something or create something as the family finances were tight. Having to make use of available materials, and even items that were pre-used, helped push her into the self-proclaimed scavenger she is today. This also gave her a passion for recycling and upcycling. She references her family and personal experiences often. In this collection she wanted to play around with color and patterns as a contrast to the more unusual subject matter.
The art show will be on display on the Project Wall January 3rd thru February 21st.
