Sam Toft

Sam Toft’s narrative paintings are quirky, fun and beautifully composed. Born in Staffordshire in June 1964, Sam’s earliest ambition amongst others was to work in a post office; luckily for art lovers, after inspired tutelage at Liverpool Community College, Sam decided to “give it a go” with her pictures.

Now living in Brighton, Sam’s art features her endearing and infamous characters, “The Mustard’s”, Ernest Hemingway Mustard and his dear lady wife Violet, Doris their grumpy and rather portly Jack Russell Terrier, and a whole collection of much loved eccentric friends and pets. Using mixed media, pencil, oil pastels, coloured inks and her own idiomatic techniques, Sam depicts a seaside world of faded ice-cream colours where the breeze is always blowing and life is utterly delicious.
