Samantha Shumaker is a Panamanian-American artist born in Texas in 1993. She began her career as a visual artist in Orlando, Florida after watching a handful of YouTube tutorials on oil painting techniques and was inspired to emulate the individuals who dedicated their lives to the creation process. Through practice and dedication she found herself entranced with painting strong and powerful yet delicately ethereal subjects. These paintings are brought to life with electrifying cotton candy color palettes and fluid dream-like compositions in a new contemporary style. Her love of experimentation has led her to dynamic bouts of painting larger than life in the form of murals, sculptural paintings and story telling through video. She seeks to build a community by using her story and work to inspire others, both online through her YouTube videos and locally at art functions.
