Samantha Glover’s art brings her closer to her soul, while acting therapeutic and granting a sense of accomplishment. She confesses that she struggles with insecurity, and that her work breaks through the barrier of not feeling “good enough,” while bringing her back to who she truly is. She mainly enjoys creating fantastical and abstract, dreamy-like pieces. While she mainly enjoys painting on canvas, she will paint on whatever she can get her hands on! She will also use clay, 3-D pen, and other mixed media items.

Samantha Glover was born and raised in Indiana and has been creating for as long as she can remember. She doesn’t know how it started, she remembers drawing cartoon characters from Nickelodeon, people oohing and awing, and thinking, “Oh hey! Maybe I’m good at this,” and kept at it. Now, we have the present-day Sam. For school, Glover attended Ivy Tech Community College, where she received her associate degree in fine arts, and then she went on to the Herron School of Art and Design, where she obtained her BFA in Fine Arts.

Her weapons of choice are canvas and paintbrush, because, for her, it’s one of the easiest to work with. Glover did enjoy doing MIG welding when she attended Herron, but because she doesn’t have access to those facilities anymore, her options are a bit more limited to what she can work with.
