BIOGRAPHY

Samantha M. French is a mixed media artist born, and raised in Montana. She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York and works as a Studio Assistant for internationally known artist, Donald Sultan while pursuing her personal artwork. Samantha received her Bachelors of Fine Arts in painting and drawing from the University of Montana, in Missoula. During her time in college, she worked at the student run gallery at the University Center as a Gallery Coordinator. Shortly after graduation, she began working at the Dana Gallery in downtown Missoula. After leaving to travel for a period of time, she returned to her hometown of Billings, Montana working at the Toucan Gallery and becoming the Gallery Manager. The Toucan continues to represent her, displaying her art and jewelry. Having lived in Montana for the better portion of her life, the landscape and natural world are major influences in her artwork. Now living in the big city, much of her art considers the human impact on the environment and how they intertwine. Samantha is always seeking new ways to explore these environments, both on and off the canvas.
