Sam Dewey

Landscape and Figurative Painter

New York, New York

Sam Dewey’s work offers a quiet invitation into memory, introspection, and the emotional resonance of place. Working primarily in representational landscape and portraiture, her paintings go beyond observation—capturing the subtle, felt experience of a moment rather than a direct depiction. There is a softness to her work, a contemplative stillness that draws the viewer inward.

Her palette, rooted in natural tones and earthbound hues, speaks to the organic beauty of the landscapes she paints. Through careful attention to light, space, and gesture, Sam creates compositions that feel both grounded and gently ethereal. Whether portraying a figure or a stretch of open land, her work holds space for the quiet in-between—where presence meets memory, and the external world mirrors the internal.

Guided by a deep sensitivity to the nuances of mood and atmosphere, Sam’s paintings carry a dreamlike sensibility that is both deeply personal and widely resonant.
