'Little White House' by Sammi Lynch
- Description
- Shipping
Sammi Lynch was born in 1995 in the North West of England. She is a recent graduate of the Royal Drawing School whose work explores notions of place and memory and uses the natural world as a cypher for human nature and emotion.
Her practice begins with drawing from life with pastels. These drawings then serve as material for working in the studio and are developed and translated through a range of techniques, including painting and printmaking. Her work expresses lived experiences of the environment through canvases that emphasise space, texture, and light. The effect of these paintings is to distil momentary impressions, observed or remembered, to immerse us in the sensations of a landscape.
Lynch has been awarded artist residencies in Scotland and Italy and has exhibited in group shows, including exhibitions at Christie’s, Buckingham Palace, and Woolwich Print Fair. Her first solo exhibition, “The Last Time We Swam,” was in 2023 with Blue Shop Gallery, London. She recently had her second solo exhibition at the Solito Gallery in Naples, Italy. Lynch’s work is held in public and private collections.

FAQ
How do I hang a new piece with works I already have?
We love mixing in new works with existing are in your collection. It can be a great way to do this as part of a gallery wall or a specific place on it’s own. Buying more contemporary work and hanging this alongside traditional work you may have inherited, is a great way of modernising a space and giving these more traditional pieces new life. Our advice would be to have a common thread that runs between the 2 pieces, that ties them together - this could be similar tones or colours, or a similar theme or subject in both the works.
Does art make a good wedding present?
We have lots of pieces that would make brilliant wedding presents. Buying art as a gift is such a meaningful present and will forever be a talking piece for that couple, and tell a story of the people that bought them that piece and remind them of their wedding. Prints are always an easy and affordable wedding gift. Or if you want to club together with some friends and buy an original framed piece, you will definitely win the prize for most unique gift!
How do I choose a frame?
This is a very favourite topic of ours - we LOVE framing! How you frame depends on the space you’d like to hang the piece in. If you are hanging on a neutral wall, we love to go for a colourful frame. And using an interesting moulding, be it reeded or bobbin, is a great way of adding texture to a room. For works on paper I love a deckled paper edge - in this case I love to float or surface mount the paper, so you can see this deckled edge and then a simple wood frame. If you are trying to make a space more contemporary, framing can be a great way to add to this, like a tray frame on a large canvas piece. I also love framing traditional art works in modern frames and vice versa; a modern little print in a really traditional old antique gilt frame.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes we absolutely do - this is the perfect gift solution for that person who either has everything, or you just can’t choose which artwork to buy for them. A lovely gift for someone to choose exactly what they would like from our large collection of art work.
