Sam Ellis

Samantha Ellis, dog artist, with a beautiful art collection of signed limited prints. Born in Northampton in 1992 and now lives and works in Cambridgeshire. She has her artist studio in her home as this is where she feels the most relaxed which is hugely important to her when she paints. She was interested in art from a young age and always had the confidence to do her own thing. After completing an art foundation course, she decided to go it alone and teach herself to paint, and what began as a hobby has quickly developed into a full time occupation.

Sam Ellis is young and brimming with inspiration and energy, Sam has forged a highly individual approach which has grown and changed into a loose, dynamic and recognisable style. Using acrylics in the paintings gives her the vibrancy that is key to her bolder work. She also chooses a cooler palette at times to give a more detatched feel to the finished image. “I tend to layer the paint on quite thick as I love the texture this produces and I feel it also makes the painting more visually interesting. I love being able to make each building and place look different every time I paint them.”
