Samantha Doyle

My art is a reflection of my love for nature. God’s creation is my biggest inspiration, and I want to express its beauty through my work. Painting is truly my passion, especially watercolor, which I love for its evocative and expressive qualities. My paintings are often derived from observable characteristics of flowers, trees, mountains, the ocean, and other natural wonders that inspire me and are combined with my imagination. I also enjoy using oil and acrylic paint and taking photographs. My paintings and drawings are often expressive, tending to fall somewhere between abstract and gestural.
