SENTIMENT. LOVE. REFLECTION.
About Samantha
I am Samantha, the multidisciplinary artist that is behind SLR Collective - a curation shaped by Sentiment, Love and Reflection. These three words aren’t just values; they’re the compass that guided me through one of the most transformative chapters of my life.
SLR was born from a season of deep resilience. During recovery, I found myself writing again — quietly, privately, instinctively. One of those pieces, a poem about healing and the human experience, was later published by the mental health charity Mind. That moment reminded me that creativity isn’t just something I do; it’s something that has always held me, healed me, and helped me make sense of the world.
From that place of reflection, clarity arrived: my creativity wasn’t scattered — it was symphonic. SLR is named after the biggest inspirations in my life, my two children, and me!
Ceremonies, botanicals, millinery and jewellery were not four separate crafts. They were four expressions of the same truth: art becomes meaningful when it is personal.
Jack of All Trades. Master of Four.
My four crafts are represented by four colours: Pink for Ceremonies Green for Botanicals Peach for Millinery Blue for Jewellery
Together, they form a cohesive mastery — a reclamation of the phrase “Jack of all trades.” I am a Master of Four.’
The Creative Artisan
Today, I work from my base in Cardiff, creating slowly and intentionally. Every ceremony I write, every floral design I shape, every headpiece I sculpt, every symbollic pendant I wrap — each and every one is crafted with emotional depth and full focus. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is mass‑produced. Everything is created with care.
My work has been recognised in the Katherine Elizabeth Art Deco Millinery Challenge and featured in HATalk magazine, but the heart of my practice stays the same: to honour your story with intention, artistry and empathy.
