Samuel Earp is an international artist who loves to paint landscapes in oils, especially scenes of New Zealand, Australia and Guernsey among others. Samuel also paints botanical paintings using water colour. Born on the island of Guernsey in 1979, Samuel grew up in the South West of England where he did a lot of drawing and painting from an early age. Samuel has been living in New Zealand since 2009.
Samuel has always loved painting landscapes, especially water and the sea, which he enjoys painting most of all.
'I love recreating the colours, light and atmosphere of nature on canvas. Painting gives me an enormous sense of well-being and connectedness'.
Samuel particularly likes the dramatic landscapes and beautiful colours that are so unique to the New Zealand wilderness and often channels this into his mountain paintings.
