Sam’s artwork features flowers, trees, insects, birds, turtles, and tractor-track puddles found along the Natchez Trace. The show includes over twenty-five pieces showcasing his vibrant use of color and exceptional light and shadow techniques in watercolors.
“I hope visitors are reminded of nature’s beauty and wildness,” says Sam. “The Natchez Trace offers many ways to explore its richness.”
