About the artist

During Samantha’s term, she painted 108 plein air landscapes from more than 40 communities across Alberta. The entire collection was was at the Fine Arts Building Gallery in Edmonton in an exhibition entitled Sky, Stone, and Prairie: Plein Air Perspectives of Alberta during the Month of the Artist in September 2025.
