I an an artist based in Northern Ireland specialising in mixed media and oil paint nature and wildlife. While always a creative person, I initially pursued a career in Social Work while creating paintings in my spare time, due to my love and passion for people and caring for others. This fed heavily into my art in later years as a further way to shed light to those around me.
During a very challenging period of my life I completed the Mastery programme with the Milan Art Institute, improving my painting abilities and allowing her voice to develop, creating paintings which bring hope and encouragement. Through each of my pieces I aim to bring a sense of light in dark times, and provide a sense of hope and that you are not alone.

In 2021 Sam Allen launched her career as a full time artist in her studio in the countryside of Northern Ireland, taking inspiration from the colours she sees in the world around her, particularly when walking with her dogs. Sam Allen aims to bring encouragement to those who see her art and in future to bring further awareness of emotional wellbeing and highlight the beauty of the wildlife both at home and abroad, highlighting animals that are at risk of extinction.
Sam has since featured in multiple group and solo exhibitions throughout Northern Ireland
