About Sam

 

  Sam Hill’s practice is diverse and occurs across media - studio art, curation, and art educational practices are all implicated.  Her painting concepts exist within the queer, feminist framework, exploring the correlations found within mental health, physical health, femininity, and queer identities which she balances against the cartoonish elements in her illustrations and sculptures. 

​

Alumni of the Specialist Art and Art History program at the University of Toronto in Mississauga and Sheridan College, Sam worked in a collaborative team to curate exhibitions, manage, organize, and run social engagement programs, operated an online student exhibition on social media, engaged with contemporary artists and participated in teaching practicums at museums and galleries, where she learned real-world educational techniques. 

 

  In addition to studying studio art, Sam has been engaging with museum practices and art education. She currently leads clay activities at the Gardiner Museum. 

 

Sam enjoys craft projects such as making jewelry, masks, costumes, home decor and creating comics and zines for fun. Although her specialty lies in painting and drawing, she has learned how to create art through multiple mediums including but not limited to print media, digital and film photography, video editing, graphic design, pottery, and sculpture.
