Samantha Fellows gained a BA (Hons) degree
in fine art at Oregon State University. In addition
to her work as a scenic artist, Fellows’s personal
work has been seen in exhibitions including the
RBSA Portrait Prize Exhibition and the Annual
Exhibition Society of Women Artists (both 2015).
The portrait is of the artist’s daughter and is part
of a series of paintings of Fellows’s two daughters.
For this portrait she worked from photographs
and sketches made at the breakfast table.
Fellows says ‘I was struck by Pearl’s look of very
slight apprehension. She also possesses a certain
teenage bravado that I also hoped to capture.’
