Artist: Samantha H. E. Hand | Location: Chesapeake, VA
Chesapeake, VA
Throughout her life, Samantha Hand has pursued a passion and profession in the visual arts. Originally from the southwestern mountains of Virginia, she earned a BA in Art from Virginia Tech then continued onto Radford University to complete her MFA. Early in her career, she worked as a graphic designer at Radford University, later transitioning into the art director position at Wake Forest University. Following her visual interests and growth as an artist, she entered a new career in painting in 2010, living and working in Chesapeake, Va.
Samantha's work centers around the collision of man-made and the natural world. Contrasts of hard edges and organic shapes, natural hues and human invented colors have led her to explore the role humans play in the environment.
