  • Biography
Samantha’s wearable artworks reflect on her past and current lived experiences growing up on the Scottish West coast. By taking inspiration from ‘A Philosophy of Walking’ by Frederic Gros, her jewellery acts as a hybrid between aspects of the landscape and its biodiversity that she encounters on her wanders. Samantha challenges the idea of preciousness by exploring materiality through found objects and different composites, as well as working with precious and non-precious gemstones; and her work has gone on to win several awards, and has been showcased internationally. Based in the city of Glasgow, Samantha currently develops her practise through questioning themes of materiality and sense of place, while undertaking an internship with Munich Jewellery Week; an annual, independent, artist-run jewellery festival.
