Joyful Horizons, mixed media and gold pigment on canvas, 40" x 60" Day one of our Sold Out 8-week Fearless Abstraction Workshop at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts was exhilarating.

Immense gratitude to Laura Sharp Wilson for her unwavering dedication in bringing this workshop to life.
"A reception area is an opportunity to set the tone for your business for both your workers and your clients. This shimmering piece by Samantha da Silva sets a soothing, yet energetic tone for your corporate space. Both peaceful and invigorating, this work also draws from the accents of the spaces’ interior design. The gold metallic fixtures beautifully complement the metallics within the painting, creating a stunning visual effect that will mesmerize clients and energize your workers."

Whether it's the expansive ocean, the gentle rain, or a tranquil pool, as I immerse my canvases in these surroundings, I feel them infused with the very essence of the place itself.
But it's not just about the art. Our own selves, our very beings, are like canvases waiting to be painted upon by the world around us. For those of us who have known the ache of searching for belonging and home, there is a profound truth in remaining open and adaptable. It is this openness that allows us to assimilate into new environments, to truly become a part of the fabric of the world around us. So I ask you: How do you belong to where you are? How do you allow yourself to be painted by the colors of your surroundings, to be shaped by the rhythms of the world? Incorporating iron-rich Utah dirt into my artistic endeavors holds profound meaning for me. This organic material not only enriches my works but also imbues them with a sense of sacredness, connecting them to the land from which they originate. As I transform my studio into a blank canvas, the red earth becomes more than just a medium—it becomes a conduit for my expression, a reflection of my connection to the earth and its essence.
In a world where the pursuit of adulthood often discourages the expression of our inner child, it's important to recognize that embracing our playful instincts isn't a sign of immaturity; rather, it's a pathway to healing and self-discovery. Through play, we tap into our creativity, rediscover our sense of wonder, and unlock new depths of understanding about ourselves and the world around us. In this journey of self-discovery, we have the opportunity to align ourselves with our deepest truths and aspirations. By embracing our yearnings and honoring our authentic selves, we not only find healing but also become agents of transformation, embodying the very truths we seek in the world. Hey everyone! Join me from June 7th-9th, 2024, for my upcoming Fearless Metallics workshop—it's my all-time bestseller and spots fill up fast! Experience the magic of working with metallic paints, powders, and pigments in a contemporary way. Plus, I'm thrilled to incorporate sound healing into our opening meditation ceremony on Friday night to align our creativity with source energy.
