Samantha Forrest is a figurative and colour artist based in Bristol, south-west England. Weaving across sculpture and the 2-dimensional field, her work explores portraiture, landscape and nature.
She is recognised for her accuracy of representation and the depth of her connection to the natural world.
She is the author of spiritual texts and stories for children. 
Her work has been sold to private collectors in the UK and worldwide.

Samantha spent her early years on the east coast of the United States of America, and in London, England. It was at the age of 4, whilst travelling across North America in the back of a green mustang, with her colouring books for company, that she knew she wanted to be an artist.
She moved with her family, aged 8, to Paris, France. Upon completing school, she attended the Académie Julian, where she learnt drawing and history of art.
Some years later, having moved to the UK, she studied sculpture with Jane Hill at the City Literary Institute in London. She has since travelled extensively, spending periods living in Germany, Chicago, and Venezuela, where her love of flowers was born.
It is her belief that the Great Spirit dwells in the fabric of nature, in the trees and flowers, birds, fish, bear and tiger, as in each one of us.
