Sam Whalen


This past Thursday, February 28th, we had the opportunity to listen to three different artists talk about their work.  Sam Whalen was the artist I was able to relate with the most. Her work is mostly performance pieces; however she also paints and draws.

Incorporated into her performance works, she often uses her paintings in a very humorous way.  For example, she created a fake wall where she displayed one of her paintings including the name of the piece.  On the backside of the wall, she attached backpack straps to create a walking wall for her art.  She wore this piece at the opening of another artist’s art show and received quite a bit of attention.
