At Fine & Country, we value working with local makers whose craft reflects the character of the South West. Cornish artist Sam Gabriel is one of those creatives whose work aligns closely with what we aim to champion.

Sam’s paintings draw directly from Cornwall’s landscape - its rugged coastlines, natural textures, and distinctive light. Using a combination of plaster and acrylics, she creates highly textured, layered backgrounds that have become a hallmark of her style. These surfaces provide a backdrop for more simplified imagery, often featuring local wildlife or botanical forms, highlighting the contrasts found in nature.

Her work is represented in several galleries across the South West and held in private collections throughout the UK.

We're pleased to include Sam’s artwork within our hampers, giving customers the opportunity to share a thoughtful message on a print created by a respected local artist. It’s a simple way for us to support regional talent while offering something meaningful to those receiving our gifts.
