Samantha French Paintings

Born and raised in north central Minnesota, Samantha French graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2005.

The series is inspired by Samantha’s own reflections and memories of her childhood summers spent in the lakes of Northern Minnesota. French actively exhibits her paintings and is included in many private and public collections throughout the country while her work has garnered extensive international and national press. She is a full-time painter and keeps a studio in Brooklyn, New York.
