Sam Baillie

Born and raised in Western Canada, Sam Baillie’s creative talents often reflect the beautiful surroundings in Alberta as well as her love of all animals. Painting is a passion for Sam that began many years ago in high school where her talents were rewarded with top grades in art classes. This led Sam to continue developing her talent in the Fine Arts program at Red Deer College. In the years that followed, her creativity was not limited to painting alone as she explored and excelled in various artistic expressions including ceramics, wood carving, bronze sculptures.

In 2005 Sam broke away from the corporate world to devote her energy full time to painting. She has continued growing her skills working with mentors and various instructors and has become the artist of favour in many homes in Alberta and B.C. She has now expanded her involvement in art by sharing her inspiration and talent with others as an instructor of several painting groups in Calgary.

Sam feels that the environment where she thrives and can be most creative is in the natural world, so it is not without coincidence that she lives in the scenic countryside, tucked in the trees with nature, animals and tranquility. Her current works include watercolours, oils and acrylics that reflect this inviting and peaceful environment.
