When I was just starting out, I spent a lot of time attending art and holistic fairs, not as a vendor, but as someone soaking it all in. That’s where I met Sam, a local artist whose work (and spirit) immediately stood out to me. 

Sam describes herself as a “soul artist,” and it fits her perfectly. She creates from a place of deep intuition and believes art flows directly from the soul. Her pieces are alive with vibrant color because she sees color as energy—something that can shift our mood, awaken emotion, and bring us back into alignment. She works beautifully in mixed media, allowing the materials themselves to guide the process. 

We instantly connected and exchanged information, and I’m so grateful we did. Not only did she offer encouragement when I was just starting out, she also shared helpful advice—including pointing me toward a fantastic print shop that I still appreciate today. 

If you’re drawn to intuitive, color-rich art that feels both healing and expressive, I encourage you to explore her work. You can find her on Instagram @samst.john_artist and visit her website at www.samstjohnart.com
