Artist Statement:
Samantha Edmiston, or Sam Rae as she is fondly called is a self taught abstract and figurative artist working mainly in acrylics and other mediums. Sam has a raw approach to her work and she paints in an uninhibited expression she calls “organized chaos”. In her process she is intuitively following what speaks to her in the moment. She is influenced by music, the beauty of nature, people, and other artists in her life. She intends to spark a dialogue that encourages people to stop, think, and step out of their comfort zone to decide for themselves the meaning behind what they see and what they imagine.
Sam grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania where nothing ever happened. She was driven to escape this place as she knew there had to be so much more out there in the world. Samantha has happily landed in Asheville and now calls it home.
