Sam began painting in watercolour in 2007 as a way to cope with depression and anxiety. Since then, her career with watercolour has taken her work worldwide including many exhibitions in Canada, and others in the US, Mexico, France, and Italy.

Sam has been passionate about watercolour since the moment she picked up a brush. Her career also included many years of teaching the medium to hundreds of students. Upon reflection, after her tenure in 2023, as President with CSPWC; the oldest watercolour society in Canada with its roots in the ‘Group of Seven’, and celebrating its 100th year in 2025; Sam has pivoted from painting for Galleries and Exhibitions to answer a call to give back.

Sam recently launched her beta program with great success. She is pivoting her art career to give back to the community and inspire others to find healing and their creative voice. Sam is the creator and facilitator of Artful Healing online. A way for women to work through childhood trauma, using Art as therapy. She continues to paint for small exhibitions in her home studio space and mainly paints mediatively for somatic release and emotional regulation.
