Artist Bio

My name is Samantha Deitch and I’m an artist living in the PNW. I grew up here, studied art in school, lived on the East Coast, and now I’m back in Portland with my husband, boys, and Great Dane.

When my kids were very small, I worked in whatever medium was readily available to me - more often than not it was a ballpoint pen on the kitchen counter - in whatever time I found - mostly small increments during naps or meal times. These days I have more time to paint, but even so, it has to happen quickly and loosely or not at all. It’s been an excellent exercise in letting go, and my style has become more dynamic because of it.

Most of my work centers around my own domestic sphere, but my subject isn’t really domestic so much as it is about human scale - the things I see, at my level.

You can find more of my work here on my website, samdeitchart.com, and on instagram @samdeitchart.
