About Samantha


Samantha French received a BFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2005.

Her work is inspired by memories of life in Minnesota, recalling warm summer days at the lake and commonly featuring figures immersed in the water or bathed in sun.

French, who currently lives in New York, fondly describes the subject of her work as ‘a time before the wool suits, dark eyeliner and bob haircuts.’


Samantha is an AAD guest curator

I would love to purchase a print of Fall In. It is truly outstanding and reminds me of myself during my competitive swimming days and of the many summers in the lake. You have captivated a time in my life that I would love to look at over and over again.I thank you for the memories you have evoked I shall plan on following your work.

I love the way the water looks, so clean and crisp, in a way it reminds be of swimming in an ocean in a blue ocean.

These are great images. But what are they? Paint? Acrylic? Oil? Canvas? Size? This is a nice site but these things should be right next to the artists name under the image.
