Isolating with the mountains

Well many weeks have passed since the first news of the spread of COVID-19 and I have to say, the world is a different place. I have been focusing on the good on all my channels – in hopes to spread some creativity, love and light in this unprecedented gloomy time. I have been continuing my work on a series of oil paintings done of some of my favourite mountain ranges around the province, and I am enjoying the challenge of this medium in a more structured setting.

I have also been offering some LIVE demos and events on both of my social media channels of Instagram and Facebook. These are often painting themed and offered as more of an information session with the odd painting session thrown in.

I am also welcoming the opportunity to work on a few new Skillshare online workshops. I have posted two workshops to date and will be adding more in the coming weeks. Visit my page here https://www.skillshare.com/user/samanthawc

I hope you are all staying well and healthy.

I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Online Shop Update

I have filled up my online shop with some beautiful new paintings done in acrylic and oil and continue to add pieces as they dry. I like to always mention that each piece is an original – so no two are the same. Visit my Online Shop to take a peak at these new works.

“The Celestial Moon” series is a small selection of textured acrylic paintings and watercolors that represent my own interpretation of the craters and textures of the moon. I have been inspired by the changing shapes and patterns of the moon this fall and felt compelled to create a series of one of a kind original moon-scapes that would show the sparkle, the shine and the unique colors of the moon.

Special Event – The Lunar Collection

Join artist Samantha Williams-Chapelsky, So Pretty Cara Cotter and Pura Botanicals for an evening celebrating the Lunar Collection on October 10, 2019

About this Event

This event will feature the Ethereal Collection of Jewelry from So Pretty Cara Cotter, Pura Botanicals and a new series of original artworks by Samantha Williams-Chapelsky based upon phases of the moon.

As a collaborative group, we realized that as local female entrepreneurs, our focus on celestial inspirations was the perfect way to combine beauty, fashion and art into a special event to celebrate all three.

Samantha Williams-Chapelsky will be showcasing her new series titled “The Celestial Moon” which is a small series of textured acrylic paintings and watercolors that represent her own interpretation of the craters and textures of the moon. Each piece is one of a kind and will be released for purchase at this event!

Santa Fe Series

+fDRTEdXQ7q3CCAd6i0stQ

After finishing a ten day retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico – I am inspired to create a new series of works using Williamsburg oil paints on Canvas. This landscape was so inspirational for me, and I cannot wait to work from all of my small studies. Throughout the retreat, I focused on creating works with a new color palette and really expressing the landscape through the physicality of the paint itself. By working with other visual artists in a beautifully lit studio, I was able to reflect on my work and really express this new series. Stay tuned for updates on these pieces.

Self-directed Studio Residency

You look so free – Acrylic on Linen 36″ x 36″ SOLD

This month I have been partaking in a one week self directed studio residency. This dedicated time allows my focus to be on painting, away from the other aspects of my art profession such as social media, advertising, editing and applying for exhibitions. I highly recommend this as a way to focus on a new series of work or continue on an existing series uninterrupted!

Here are a few of my creations so far!
