Inspired by nature and the seasons, Samantha lives on a small, private nature reserve in Norfolk. Along with her husband and daughter, she planted a mixed native woodland, and now enjoys seeing the trees grow up around their off-grid home.

Following her degree in graphic design in the nineties, she has made her living from design, illustration and art. Watercolour is her preferred medium, sometimes using gouache or acrylic for strength of colour; sometimes ink or coloured pencil to add detail and definition.
