Ko wai au? Who am I? 
Samantha, A Ngāi Tahu
artist in Ōtautahi.

What do I do?
One of my favourite ways to create is by experimenting with colour in my work. At the moment, this is particularly through the mediums of acrylic ink and watercolour paint. I am also often chipping away at projects on Illustrator and Procreate.

What inspires me?
By combining my studies of social work, lived experience of trauma and my passion for art, I am inspired to explore ways that art can positively impact others.
