Sam Wyatt grew up in the city of Philadelphia. One of Wyatt’s earliest memories was playing
underneath an enormous steel bridge bordering the city’s lush Fairmount Park. There was
something about this intimate space that has stuck with Sam. It felt peaceful, safe, gritty, dangerous, and beautiful all at the same time.

After graduating from Massachusetts College of Art with a degree in Sculpture, Sam travelled to Japan and immersed himself in the gardens of moss and stone. His career in garden design led to further exploration of the transformative effects of nature and beauty in people’s daily lives.

Wyatt is now circling back towards painting in hopes to continue this exploration.
Instead of solely focusing on 'nature' for inspiration, he takes a deeper look at its intersection
with man-made 'ugliness,' realizing that the distinction between the two is blurred. Sam lives and works in Vermont and keeps an active studio in the city of Burlington.
