Testimonials
Read what galleries, collectors and the press are saying about Sam's work.

- Billie Engelbrecht, Collector.“I was taken back at the depth and beauty captured in his paintings…… You can’t help but wonder what the dancers are thinking, how they are so focused on their steps and yet they seem effortless”.
- Jo Anna Ordonez, Insite Magazine.
