Samantha Frances is a contemporary, abstract realism artist from East Devon, Southwest England. Her work is largely of aspects of the natural world, principally marine life, inspired by her coastal living and outdoors lifestyle. Through bold colours contrasted by minimalist backgrounds, her watercolours and oils are bright, uplifting and feel fresh and engaging; they complement contemporary and traditional spaces alike. In focusing particularly on natural energies, seasonal traits, habitats and relationships between colour, shadows, light and movement she captures the movement and energy of nature and uses her work to draw attention to the plight of species. Samantha is a registered Plastic Free champion and has worked in support of local ocean-based charities
