Dig Deep with an Artist Called Paris

Delux Designs (DE), LLC recently sat down and spoke with Boston, MA artist Samantha Estes for our latest #DEArTalk session for July 2020.
Check out our interview below:

What’s your name?
Samantha Paris Estes
Where are you from?
I’m from Syracuse N.Y. and now live in Boston, MA, USA.
What is your art style?
Abstract art and mixed media
When did you begin your art journey?
I really have been involved in art since I was a kid. I went to every art class I could, in addition to what I had available in public schools. I’m now an art director, and graphic designer, and have been refining my skills in abstract art for the past twenty-plus years. I find that being both a designer, and a fine artist, gives me a unique perspective on the corporate and artistic work. Blending these two artistic talents extends the range of the capabilities and challenges the boundaries of my art.
Why did you decide to go the art route?
I love art and felt it was something I naturally did.
Did you attend college or an art school?
I have studied at The Metropolitan School of the Arts in Syracuse, N.Y. and have a BS in Fine Arts and Graphic Design from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.
What motivates you to create?
I need to. It’s a big part of who I am. I get down if I’m not creating.
What are your art goals?
I would like to have my artwork in business such as offices, lobbies, hotels, restaurants, bars and people’s homes.
Any upcoming events?
Unfortunately, everything has been canceled with COVID. I am going to be working with an art agent this year. I also have some custom-made pieces I’m doing this year.
