On this episode we are delighted to introduce another gifted artist,  Sam Modder.  Sam is a Nigerian-Sri Lankan artist that works figuratively in pen, collage, and digital media to portray larger-than-life Black, female characters taking up space in real and imagined worlds. She graduated from Dartmouth College in 2017 with a BA in Studio Art and Engineering and from Washington University in St. Louis with an MFA in Visual Arts in 2022. She currently works as an Assistant Professor of Art and Design at the University of Tampa.
