Samantha French畢業於明尼阿波利斯藝術與設計學院,現居紐約州哈德遜谷。

French的油畫創作以以夢幻且引人省思的氛圍著稱,靈感來自童年時在家鄉湖區度過的夏日時光,作品深入探討逃離、靜謐與記憶等主題。透過水的意象,她探索女性特質、脆弱性以及人與自然之間的連結。水在她的作品中既是真實存在,也具有象徵意涵——喚起飄浮感、自由感與懸浮的現實感。她運用大膽明亮的色彩,巧妙地捕捉水面上的光影變化,為畫面帶來豐富的質感。層層堆疊的筆觸與細緻描繪增添了作品的深度與層次,邀請觀者沉浸於一個既親密又超然的片刻。

其作品被廣泛收藏於世界各地的私人與公共藝術收藏中,以其深刻的情感與詩意的視覺語言,引起觀眾共鳴。

Samantha French, a graduate of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, is now based in the Hudson Valley, New York.

French’s paintings are celebrated for their dreamlike and contemplative atmosphere. These works delve into themes of escape, serenity, and memory, drawing deeply from her own experiences of summers spent in the lakes of her home state. Through water, she explores notions of femininity, vulnerability, and the human connection to nature. The element of water becomes both a literal and symbolic medium—evoking buoyancy, freedom, and a sense of suspended reality. Her use of bold, luminous colors and her masterful depiction of light dancing across the surface of water imbue her works with a tactile richness. Layered brushstrokes and fine details enhance the texture and depth, inviting the viewer into a moment both intimate and timeless.

Her artworks are held in numerous private and public collections worldwide, resonating with audiences through their emotional depth and visual poetry.
