An avid painter well into her 80's until she was diagnosed with dementia.
While at Sunrise Assisted Living, we looked forward to the ceramic
classes which was a wonderful way for her to keep connected to art.
Working together with clay was comforting and soothing for her. She
truly was my inspiration to enjoy painting as a hobby.
My art has evolved over the past decades through my participation as an
art student, as well as my graduate studies in the field of Depth
Psychology and the Kabbalah. Within all religious traditions there are
teachings that combine sacred written texts with orally transmitted
interpretations. These oral teachings comprise a lesser known gateway to
the sacred texts. Oral tradition are hidden away from the public and
abide as a reservoir of Wisdom. My artwork is a blend of symbols and
teachings found around the world; drawing on archetypal and natural
forms as an expression of spiritual understanding and beauty.
Sam enjoys the act of physically creating things that can be used in
one’s daily life and embracing “imperfections” that make pieces unique
and one of a kind.
