Sam Groom

I am an artist, based in Sheffield UK and I live with my husband, daughter and two cats in a terraced house, where I also have my home studio. I love to create colourful, joyful, original artwork that explores composition, process and media. I work onto paper, fabric, wood and recently ceramics, to make relief prints, textile products and decorative sculptural artworks. My first love is printmaking, especially block printing with wood and lino. When printing, I work instinctively, building up many layers, combining colours, shapes and textures, striving to find harmony and balance, clarity and a feeling of joy, through a playful and open approach to the process.
