Observation & Imagination

I’m taking part in #MarchMeetTheMaker, and today’s prompt is Brand Reintroduction. But honestly? I don’t often think of myself as a brand—it’s just me, painting, storytelling, and sharing the creative journey.

I’m Sam Morris, an artist, illustrator, and storyteller weaving nature, narrative, and quiet discovery into my work. My art is about more than making pictures—it’s about slowing down, seeing the world differently, and inviting others to do the same. If you love sketchbooks, illustration, picture books, and expressive mark-making, I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

This past year, I’ve also been navigating breast cancer treatment, and your support has meant everything. I hope to show how life’s challenges can become fuel for creativity—how even in difficult times, art helps us find meaning, beauty, and connection. Creativity meets us where we are, and I’ll see you inside the studio.

✨ My Favourite Art Materials in This Vlog:
Wolf Carbon Pencil – perfect for expressive mark-making
Pith Sketchbook – ideal for sketching and storytelling
Willow Charcoal – for soft, atmospheric drawings
200gsm Cartridge Paper – great for mixed media and layering
