About Samantha Tang
Samantha is a Canadian artist based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. After moving abroad for love, she unexpectedly found her way back to painting and reconnected with a part of herself she had set aside for years. Her work is inspired by self-discovery and returning to your inner child, the honest, intuitive part that knows who you truly are.
​
She creates layered, textured paintings guided by intuition. While visually striking, the heart behind her work is simple and relatable. Samantha believes softness is a strength and that following your heart matters, especially in a world that often teaches us to play it safe.
​
Her paintings are not just meant to look beautiful on a wall. They offer a gentle reminder: you don’t have to shrink to belong. You are allowed to take up space, trust yourself, and be fully who you are.
MY CREATIVE JOURNEY
It all started with a feeling, the feeling of freedom. For the longest time I was waiting for someone to give me permission to be free to do what I want.
​
I have been living in fear for most of my life without even acknowledging it. Fear of being judged, fear of not becoming successful and fear of just failing. So I stayed in my comfort zone and did the 9 to 5 like a responsible human.
​
BUT here's the magic guys... once I made the decision to do things for me, to change my mindset to gratitude and abundance, something clicked!
I felt the release, the joy, the peace. I felt so free and closer to myself then I had even been since I was a child.
​
I will continue to enjoy my creative process because my creativity is totally worth investing in and it is such an honour to be able to share it with you all.
​
FUN STUFF ABOUT ME!
Did you know that I took up figure skating again as an adult, yes I threw shame out the door and competed in skating competitions with kids younger than half my age.
I am deathly afraid of heights but I continue to go bouldering. It's seriously as much of a mental strength training as it is a physical one.
I've got a thing about simplifying and tidying up, and I definitely follow the Marie Kondo style of folding all my clothes.

In 2023 I joined the Swan store. It's a concept store where small businesses such as myself can participate as a collective of makers. You can come shop my art prints in person from the Swan store in Utrecht.
​
Also, my art prints are also on sale through the Etsy platform. Here's the link: https://samanthatangstudios.etsy.com
