Collection: Samantha van der Westhuizen

I’m South African born and raised. I obtained my degree in Bachelor of Education: Foundation Phase.  The change in profession came with our move to Portugal 2,5 years ago, I’ve always had a passion to create. Although I enjoy the freedom of working on large surfaces with my murals, painting on canvas remains my 1^st love, as I get to create what inspires me. Acrylic is my preferred medium. I work between the brush and palette knife. Art/creating allows me to grow, experiment, make mistakes, all while knowing that the enjoyment I’ve had creating, will bring someone else as much joy when looking at it. Art is part of my everyday life, whether it be in the past, the present or the future.
