Samantha Dennison is an Albany/Kinjarling based artist working across painting and ceramics to explore ideas of stillness, space, and place. Best known for her still life oil paintings, Dennison’s practice draws on her background as art teacher, potter and parent living in a regional community, and is underpinned by her interest in objects as containers of meaning and conveyors of narrative. Dennison has a Bachelor of Education (Art) from Edith Cowan University. She was winner of the City of Albany Acquisitive Award 2023, Highly Commended in the York Botanic Art Prize 2023, and finalist in the 2024 Mandorla Art Prize, 2023 Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize and The Jury Art Prize 2023. Samantha’s work is held in the Royal Perth Hospital Collection and private collections in Australia and internationally.
