Samantha French's paintings and mixed media drawings reflect a connection to the past and her own memories of life in Minnesota. Her series focusing on bathers is her link to home and the continual search for the feeling of sun on your face, warm summer days at the lake. Shades of blue dominate her work as gestural figures in swimming attire represent memories of her past and a romanticized time far before hers with wool suits, dark eyeliner and bob haircuts.
French is now living and painting full time in New York. She graduated from MCAD, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2005.
