Samantha comes from a distinguished artistic lineage: she is the granddaughter of renowned artists Linda Syddick Napaltjarri and Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, and daughter of celebrated painter Ruby Nangala Daniels. From 2005 onward, she learned her craft under their guidance, adopting traditional iconography and cultural protocols, painting only with permission from her elders.

Her artwork is highly sought after, and her talent is obvious. Many art critics believe she is well on her way to becoming one of Australia’s most successful female aboriginal artists whose artworks will be sought after by collectors worldwide.
