SAM GOWING

Artist Bio    

Gold Coast based sculptor, Sam Gowing is an active art environmentalist. 

 

After graduating in fine art in Sydney in the eighties she participated in various group shows, exhibiting painting and sculptural works, and art installations exploring the fragility of self. Her keen interest in the environment, and love of the ocean and native wildlife, recently turned this focus outwards to the susceptibility of fellow creatures on this planet. She believes in the power of art within the environment, that it can be a subconscious influencer of our feelings about place, nature and sustainability. She strives to make environmental issues more accessible, to put them on a human level, so that we can re-engage with them. Replicating natural forms and creatures, often at a different scale or in an incongruous colour, her message is that nature, whatever we do, will always remain supreme.​

 

Sam also teaches art to kids at the Gold Coast Art School and revels in the talents of her students. She also owns a business (ToucanDoo) where she puts kids' art onto keepsake plates. And if that doesn't fill her time enough : ) she also is a gym coach, as she is a firm believer in healthy body, healthy mind.​
