Studio & Gallery Biggest Sale of the Year Sale! Don't Miss Out!!

Come for our biggest sale of the year! Don't miss out on affordable art for the holiday season and the chance for many to see the space we create in!

Happy Holidays from SAMPOE Gallery!

Sam's Desert Views

Sam Woolcott's painting, "Untitled Storm 2010", capture's our uncommonly stormy and wet spring of 2010. Painting outside in the furious winds initiated a change from acrylic to oil paint and required a firm grip on the canvas! Facing the mountains of Mexico, she's caught the dance of clouds that makes living in Arizona an unforgettable experience.



"Spring Creek, February 2010" brings us the perspective of a bird in flight, a graceful sweep over grasses, a gateway to the San Jose Mountains of Mexico. This is the beauty and calm of the Mexican/US border.




Please contact the SAMPOE Gallery for availability and pricing.

"Bisbee Reds" by Sam Woolcott

As a former architectural student, Sam Woolcott specializes in rendering the unique quality of Bisbee, Arizona’s township and surrounding areas. Buildings, arroyos, stairs and grasses populate her canvases: her bold and adventurous use of color and perspective capture the lively spirit of the town.

Sam has won awards in national art shows including First Place in Drawing & Pastels from the Scottsdale Arts Festival in Arizona in 2009, First Place in Painting and three-time Award Winner in Drawing at the Sausalito Art Festival in California and the Jurors Award at the Plaza Show in Kansas City, Kansas in 2005. Locally, Sam won Best in Show at the Bisbee Plein Air Competition in 2004 and again in 2007, along with winning the Bisbee Artist Award.
