Thought to Completion by Sam Caylor
Curated by Eric Murphy
June 15 – August 20, 2024
Reception June 28 from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Having been trained throughout her life in both traditional and digital media, Sam has been creating a variety of art for clients and patrons since obtaining her BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2009. Most of this work for hire has been in graphic design and illustration, with occasional private commissions for portraiture. Thanks to the existence of the internet, she has worked with small businesses all over the country from Queens to California to Georgia, and there was that one time she designed some merch that traveled over to Japan on a musician’s tour. While she has had some amounts of success in these areas, her goal is to be recognized and known for her independent creations, both drawn on paper and painted on canvas. Over the last few years she has been exploring her own voice through paint, utilizing it as an outlet for emotions and self expression. In the process, she has found herself playing with different ways of applying paint to canvas – be it brush, sponge, palette knife, crumpled paper or found object she luckily had not thrown away at some point because it suddenly proved useful. Along the way, she has been fortunate enough to display these pieces in galleries and exhibits located all over Long Island.
Habiendo recibido entrenamiento a lo largo de su vida en medios tradicionales y digitales, Sam ha estado creando una variedad de arte para clientes y patrocinadores desde que obtuvo su BFA del Instituto de Tecnología de la Moda en el año 2009. La mayor parte de su trabajo por contrato ha sido en diseño gráfico y ilustración, con encargos privados ocasionales de retratos. Gracias a la existencia de Internet, ha trabajado con pequeñas empresas en todo el país, desde Queens hasta California y Georgia, y una vez diseñó un producto que viajó a Japón en una gira de músicos. Sam ha tenido cierto éxito en estas áreas, su objetivo es ser reconocida y conocida por sus creaciones independientes, ambos dibujados sobre papel y pintados sobre lienzo. En los últimos años Sam ha explorando su propia voz a través de la pintura, utilizándose como salida para las emociones y la autoexpresión. En el proceso, se encontró jugando con diferentes formas de aplicación de pintura al lienzo, sea con brocha, esponja, espátula, papel arrugado o un objeto encontrado que afortunadamente ella no había tirado en algún momento porque de repente resultó útil. En el camino, ha tenido la suerte de exhibir estas piezas en galerías y exhibiciones ubicadas por todo Long Island.
SEPA Mujer is located at 110 North Ocean Ave., Patchogue. The exhibit is open to the public during business hours.
