Please join us on Tuesday, May 6, when Sam Perry will be sharing decades of all-out artistic pursuit with us at the next Art Salon. Drawing has been central to Sam’s process throughout all of his explorations—in oil painting and pen and ink as well as digital media and installation. His unique animations bring a life of observational drawing and the traditions of making art, of the organizing of form, into the infinite potential of contemporary media. Drawing is the backbone, the glue that holds together Sam’s wide-ranging endeavors.

Sam Perry is a native of West Palm Beach and a dedicated, life-long artist. He earned his BFA from the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota.
