Sam Lennon is a Maryland-based artist living near the Chesapeake Bay. She studied at VCU School of the Arts and creates unique collages resembling paintings. Using handmade papers sourced globally, Lennon's work captures her vibrant perception of nature, balancing "chaos and control" within a limited palette. Her art, initially inspired by kite designs, is now framed between glass, showcasing the delicate textures and intricate patterns of the papers.
My drawings and sketchbooks use watercolor and graphite to investigate images in series. I find inspiration in my surroundings and have been working from the same studio window since 1985. My journals have tracked my dreams and creative process steadily since 1977. Limited edition intaglio prints have also been important to my development.
I’m ItsHunniB, an illustrator that creates work around Black beauty, natural hair love, body positive and more.
I am a multi-passionate creative entrepreneur, cheerleader and champion for humans wanting to make the world a better place:)
I am a digital marketer, podcast host and voice actor (hence the name "Audio Candi"), with aspirations to have a feature role in a major animated studio film.
I also create Ai-generated art and patterns and am on a mission to help more African-Americans learn to embrace, leverage and dominate the Ai space.
