{"title":"Jeremy Sams","description":"\u003cp\u003eJeremy Sams is an award winning representational artist residing in Archdale, NC. He was born in 1977 and his childhood consisted of spending lots of time in the woods of the Uwharrie Mountains and playing in and along the banks of the Uwharrie River in the southwestern portion of Randolph County, NC. He became interested in art at a very early age, winning his first art competition at the age of 6. At age 15, he took his first art class where he was introduced to painting. His love for painting sparked a new change in his life and the beginning of a career was birthed by commissioned portraits and murals from the local community. Through these small art endeavors and apart from formal training, Jeremy was able to begin a professional art career at the age of 19.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeremy’s primary subject matter is landscapes while working in acrylics. He also loves the challenge of portraits and his work varies in size from just a few sq. inches to murals measuring upward of 40’x60′.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis artistic growth took on a new form in 2011 when he was introduced to painting en plein air. This same year, he and his wife mourned the death of two children. Through this trying time, Jeremy found new inspiration and healing through painting outdoors en plein air. “Painting en plein air has become a means of therapy and release of emotion for me…Here, I can enjoy God’s creation and relish in the beauty He has given us to enjoy in this short life.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeremy’s personal inspirations come mostly from the play of light and atmosphere and their effects on objects and landscapes. His most favorite areas of subject matter are the rolling hills and mountains of North Carolina along with its waterways, and special array of trees and meadows. It’s not uncommon to see Jeremy with his outdoor easel set up on the side of the road or on a river bank somewhere with brush in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeremy was a featured artist in the February-March 2017 issue of “\u003cem\u003ePlein Air Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e“.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeremy is currently a member of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ncpap.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNorth Carolina Plein Air Painters\u003c\/a\u003e,  Triad Outdoor Painters, \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/charlottepleinairpainters.com\/\"\u003eCharlotte Plein Air Painters\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/pleinaircarolina.com\/\"\u003ePlein Air Carolina\u003c\/a\u003e.
