Story Behind the Art
Story Behind the Art
I don’t think we take enough time to simply enjoy things we enjoy. We are so busy rushing around from one obligation to the next that we don’t often stop to do something whimsical and decidedly unnecessary. These moments of pure fun are, however, so vital to our well-being. Like a baker making something as frivolous as a cupcake, these simple indulgences can feed our spirits and help us to reenergize, so we can do something with more meat.
About the Artist
About the Artist
Samantha Long is an artist who loves patterns, bright colors, and whimsy. She started taking art lessons at the age of 10 with fine artist Monique DeWitt and continued with art through high school. It wasn’t until Samantha was chosen as a Sterling Scholar for Fine Art, however, that she started taking art more seriously. After taking her art portfolio over to Bob Barrett and receiving an invitation to study with his department, Samantha decided to study Illustration at Brigham Young University under Christopher Thornock, Robert Barrett, and Bethanne Andersen. “I did Illustration not because I intended to do illustration— quite the contrary, actually; I hate being told what to paint. I did it because the program taught me how to draw. If you can draw, you can tackle pretty much anything— in art and life.”
