PROFILE – SAMMY HEXTER-ANDREWS
Passion for art and the desire to create is what keeps Sammy’s mind racing with ideas for her artwork. Sammy works in a variety of mediums. When viewing Sammy’s portfolio for the first time one is under the impression that the works presented are the creations of several artists. The diversity in the styles of collections however is the efforts of just her, with the one constant being her ‘process’. Explosive abstract art paintings, contemporary mixed media collage art are just some of the styles you will discover when you delve into Sammy’s portfolio.
“An exceptional artist who is inspired by colour, mark making and form.
Sammy is an ‘Intellectual’ Professional Artist who approaches all her work with a huge mental analysis and therefore a wonderful vision of the work before it is created.
Sammy writes down her ‘vision’ before she starts painting. She writes wonderful essays about why she is painting a particular work. Her inspiration, her concept and her colour fields.
Hugely talented and extremely professional, Sammy is an artist to watch, to invest in and to enjoy.”
That is how Caroline Hulse FRSA, owner of The Magic Easel and JoeDaisy Studio, reacts to the work of artist Sammy Hexter-Andrews.
Sammy, an abstract painter now living in Cornwall, what she calls ‘the most beautiful county in the United Kingdom’. It has been a long term plan to eventually move to Cornwall with her husband, who is also very creative as a Master Carpenter. They have moved into an old Victorian school and are turning it into their forever home. Now Sammy plans to create her abstract original pieces with Cornwall as her muse.
Prior to moving Sammy lived and work from her studio in Hampshire. Sammy wanted to consolidated her knowledge and gain greater skills to expand her abilities within her craft and was very fortunate to be taken under the wing for expert tutorage from the late Caroline Hulse
