Samantha Carell is a contemporary abstract artist whose work explores the tension between presence and absence, light and shadow, movement and stillness. Working with fluid acrylics, 24-karat gold, epoxy resin, and dimensional forms, she creates layered compositions that evoke both emotional depth and spiritual clarity. Her art holds space for presence, truth, and emotional clarity without trying to fix anything.

Carell's formal training in fine art design and color theory informs her hybrid use of space and material. Her signature cellular structures and viscosity-based techniques have become hallmarks of her practice, transforming fluid pigment into organic, living forms. She is known for using negative space not as a void, but as an invitation and an active part of the conversation between viewer and canvas.

Her work is deeply personal. Shaped by the loss of her mother, and her twin sister, Carell paints not from a place of grief, but from what remains—resilience, reverence, and a belief in transformation. Her pieces often function as quiet mirrors, holding space for reflection, healing, and presence.

In 2025, Carell debuted "Arrival," a large-scale beachscape installation commissioned by Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. The piece continues her exploration of stillness, memory, and resonance through aerial compositions of untouched shorelines and symbolic negative space.

Carell’s work has been exhibited internationally and is held in both private and public collections. She was named Best Emerging Artist at the 2018 Manayunk Arts Festival and returned the following year as their headline billboard artist. Her evolving practice continues to push the boundaries of abstraction while remaining grounded in visual storytelling.

Based in South Jersey, Samantha also serves as Director of the SoHa Arts Building, a thriving creative community where she champions emerging artists and curates collaborative experiences. Through her practice, she continues to explore what it means to create with intention, to be present in process, and to hold space for others to reconnect with themselves.
