Underwater portraits of Samantha French

The underwater portraits of Samantha French, a painter, born and raised in Minnesota bring me back summer memories in the middle of winter. The artist attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and now lives and works in Brooklyn. Her current body of work explores nostalgic memories from her childhood spent swimming in lakes of northern Minnesota. The underwater portraits portray people both in and out of water in the midst of perfect tranquil moments captured gracefully with oil paints.
