Finding My Way Back to the Art of My Soul
A season of creative soul searching and a new chapter
It’s been a little quieter on the Art Studio front lately — and honestly, it’s been exactly what my soul needed. Over the past few months, I’ve found myself in a deep period of creative soul-searching and reflection, while simultaneously nurturing the growth of the other side of my work in Spiritual & Creative Empowerment Coaching.
I didn’t plan for it. I didn’t schedule it into my calendar. It was something far more organic — a quiet invitation to slow down, to listen more deeply, and to realign with the heart of why I create.
And somewhere within that stillness, a beautiful realisation found me:
It’s not just creativity that connects my art and my coaching work. It’s women’s empowerment. It always has been.
If you’ve been following my journey for a while, you probably won’t be surprised. My signature work — and arguably my most loved — has always revolved around uplifting feminine figures. Figures full of grace, strength, wisdom, and softness. The kind of art that doesn’t just decorate a wall, but speaks quietly (and powerfully) to the soul.
You might even be thinking, "Duh, Sam! What took you so long?" 😉
And you’d be right. Sometimes it takes a little wandering to find your way back to what has been within you all along.

Why Women’s Empowerment?
Women’s empowerment is not just a concept for me — it’s a lived experience, a sacred thread that runs through every part of my life and work.
It’s about the quiet power we carry.
The resilience we embody.
The intuition that guides us.
The beauty of blooming in our own time, in our own way.
My journey has been shaped by deep personal challenges — seasons of heartbreak, reinvention, and rebuilding from the inside out. It was through these hard, humbling moments that I found the courage to lean into my creativity, trust my personal truth, and begin expressing myself with more and more authenticity.
Choosing to honour my creative voice wasn’t just a hobby or a side passion. It was — and continues to be — a transformational lifeline.
It’s what helped me heal.
It’s what taught me how to reclaim my power.
It’s what continues to shape a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and whole.
When I create, I’m not just painting a figure — I’m painting a feeling. A remembering. A mirror. I want each piece to serve as a loving reminder of who you truly are, underneath the layers of expectation, busyness, and self-doubt.
My Intention for Every Painting
With every brushstroke, my intention is simple yet powerful:
To create soulful art that feels like a blessing on your wall.
To offer you a visual anchor for your own journey of self-discovery, self-trust, and self-love.
To create spaces — even in the smallest corners of your home — that quietly remind you of your strength, beauty, and worth.
Each painting is infused with prayer, intention, and a deep wish:
May this piece empower you to stand a little taller, speak a little more bravely, dream a little bigger.
May it remind you that you are whole, you are worthy, and you are deeply powerful — exactly as you are.
My Hope for Each Collector
If you welcome one of my paintings into your life, my hope is that it becomes more than something you look at — I hope it becomes something you feel.
A daily invitation back to yourself.
A source of quiet courage when you need it most.
A symbol of the sacred journey you’re on — becoming more fully, unapologetically yourself.
I hope it brings a softness to your heart and a fierceness to your spirit.
I hope it helps you remember that even when life feels heavy, beauty and strength are still yours to claim.
Completing the Circle
Truthfully, painting these pieces gives me as much as I could ever hope to give through them.
It’s how I have my own conversations with the divine.
It’s how I move through my own fears, my own expansions, my own quiet becoming.
It’s where I meet myself — over and over again — with more kindness, more curiosity, and more trust.
Each painting is a part of my own healing, my own empowerment, my own remembering.
Sharing them with you feels like completing the circle — a sacred offering from my heart to yours.
Take care,
