Sam Matthews with The Gypsy shack is an amazing artist and a wonderful person. I have multiple paintings throughout my home and have been 100% satisfied with each and everyone. I have no doubt her many talents are going to get much deserved recognition and she will be known for her God gifted talents.

About
My name is Samantha everyone calls me Sam! I'm a full time artist, I have artwork in several museums in NC and VA. I started Face Painting as a hobby but loved it instantly! I have so much fun talking to the kids and creating little pieces of art! I'm a huge animal lover, with a mini aussie named fancy and a black cat named meadow. I'm currently working on art pieces to get into NYC and Washington DC. I also do fairy hair, make jewelry and sell my art. Can't wait to work with you!
Additional booking notes
No special requirements, other than prefer to work indoors in the cold months if possible but, I have a 10x10 tent, tables and chairs for outside events as well!
I can work night events and have my own lights but would need the extension cord ready to use for my spot!
