Samantha Wing

I live and work as an artist in the south east of England in a lovely seaside town with my partner, our children and our dogs.  I have always felt most at home when surrounded by nature, I truly love animals and nature and all of my paintings are inspired by these things.

I have painted ever since I can remember, I am very fortunate to have a creative mum, and the support she gave me certainly encouraged me on my art journey.

The majority of my work is animal portrait commissions; I absolutely adore all of the wonderful animals, that I have the privilege of painting.  I work mainly in oil or coloured pencil, and all of my materials are vegan and ethically sourced.  In addition to freelance work I teach a range of art workshops for children, as I believe they are the key to improving the world we live in, young minds need to be creative in order to bring about positive change.

Why I am vegan

I get asked this question more than I thought I would, and to me the answer is simple ‘Why, in a world that claims to be compassionate, educated and medically advanced, would you not be vegan’.

I have been vegetarian since I was 14, and recently turned vegan as I could no longer deny what really happens in dairy farming, and although I consumed very little milk I had to face the reality that even a little was too much.  As a society we are programmed to believe we need meat and dairy to live healthy lives, living as a vegan has taught me this is untrue.  This has also started me on a journey of self-discovery, and every day I make a conscious effort to live the best life I can by being as kind as I can to myself and all others that share this Earth with me, I give as much as I can and try to reduce the negative impact I have on my environment.  I am very passionate about saving lives as I believe all life is equal and has a right to live peacefully.
