I'm Sam.
I draw Black people taking up space in all their texture, vibrancy and power.
I'm Nigerian and Sri Lankan, born in the first, raised in the second.
I graduated from Dartmouth in 2017 with a double major in Engineering and Studio Art and from the Thayer School of Engineering in 2018 with a B.E. in Mechanical Design.
I recently received my MFA from Washington University in St Louis in May 2022 and currently work at the University of Tampa as an Assistant Professor of Art and Design.
I want my art to take up space,
be accessible and exude truth, joy and hope.
I love what I do.
Thanks for being here and do get in touch if you enjoy my work!
