Samantha Iaconi explores blue collar American life. Her studio work is influenced by surrealism and American middle-class culture. Her Plein Air work captures landmarks and traditions of blue collar neighborhoods. The storytelling in her surreal work blurs the line between tangible reality and an alternative hyperbolic reality.
