With a mission to make lives brighter through the arts, Sam connects with artists who connect with our community through engaging programming and thoughtful shows while offering encouragement to aspiring creatives in our region. Sam is also an instructor in the Interior Design and Architecture department as Florida State University, as well as a contemporary painter with her MFA from FSU.
