Featured Artist

Samantha Bryan


Sculptures hand made in leather and mixed media
Samantha find s herself preoccupied with everyday life, but not on her own- that of the fairy. Consequently her sculptures place what can only be described as ‘fairies’ with machine-like contraptions. They depict fairies going about their everyday lives. Within Samantha’s work her extraordinary objective is to realise the necessities and requirements that would be involved in ‘fairy life’: to provide everything a fairy would demand during its daily existence.
This central theme runs throughout her work but is incredibly versatile and can lend itself to almost any brief or situation with a bit of imagination.
Samantha’s sculptures evoke a sense of nostalgia, escapism and make-believe necessary to remove the viewer temporarily from their worries. She endeavors to capture every imagination!
