About The Artist

After graduating, the owners of Bellas and Milani gallery introduced her to Brisbane erotic art collector Alex Mackay who bought her entire university portfolio.

Samantha moved to Melbourne in 2008 and regained contact with Alex while touring his collection through regional Australia. She performed at the opening of The Art of the Nude exhibition in Albury, wearing her ‘Birthday Suit’. In 2010 Samantha worked as a drawing assistant for artist Tom Nicholson and completed honours at Monash University. She returned to Queensland in early 2012.
