Visual Artist in Matthews NC USA


Olga Sam (Volha Samuila-formal name) was born and raised in Belarus. She received her bachelor's degree in Art appreciation from Vitebsk State University in 2004. During next few years Olga worked as a researcher in National Center of Modern Arts of the Republic of Belarus and as a senior researcher in Belarusian National Arts Museum. She also attended Graphic Design classes at Belarusian State Academy of Arts in 2007-2008.
Her true passion for art appeared when she was a little girl growing up in a small town surrounded by lakes, farm fields, and green forests. At first, Olga tried capturing all of that beauty by very simple photo camera. And it did not take too long before she ended up in an art studio for kids and started her learning experience.
Olga moved to the United States when her husband received a job offer. And she started to practice producing art again in 2016.
Since then Olga has taken classes and attended workshops conducted by nationally recognized artist, Andy Braitman at Braitman studio; visited many open figure drawing sessions throughout Charlotte area; and has worked in her studio developing her skills and talents farther in abstract art inspired by nature.
Member of Mint Hill Arts.
