I'm Samantha Walhood, the artist behind Sammyshoo Studio. I'm based in Round Rock, Texas, where I live with my husband, two dogs, one cat, plants, two hermit crabs, a betta fish, and a nanoshrimp colony... I like critters.
I grew up in the Southwest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I have a BS in Psychology from UNM. I draw inspiration from my diverse cultural background, traveling, and the natural world. I consider myself to be a self taught artist with having had a few key teachers along the way.
My work has been featured in the New Mexico State Fair, Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, Albuquerque Art Museum, local Round Rock art galleries, as well as private collections in New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas.
