​

"Sunrise is a sacred and precious time of the day. In the twilight of the morning, all life silently waits for the sunrise. These moments are peaceful, quiet, and all-around magical. Daybreak also brings renewed hope of another day of healing. I want to paint this magical light that I have seen and deliver it to the viewers."

​

Sammy captures the beautiful landscape and adds her memories and dreams to the painting. Her painting style is based on neo-surrealism nowadays.
