About Samwell

Samwell is a New Zealand based artist specialising in recreating landscapes using native and recycled timbers with resin. In late 2021, he left his job as a Water Resources Scientist in order to pursue ‘tinkering’ with artwork full time, after dabbling as a hobby artist since 2017.

Samwell currently creates his pieces from a small garage in Carterton, utilising local materials at hand. His pieces are inspired by the dynamic and unique environments across the country, ranging from volcanic plateaus of the Central North Island to the coastal bays reminiscent of Abel Tasman; he encapsulates the uniqueness of these places in timber to last a lifetime.
