Samuel Sanderson

Artist and sculptor Sam works in the medium of wire, wood, and stone creating unique and beautiful pieces of art. Sam's art practice draws inspiration from the abundant expanse of the Canadian Shield lakes and forests. Serene sunset paddles and quiet forest treks drive the passion to connect their art with the world around them. 

Sam's work has been featured as the ceremonial gift between the Canadian government and Haida Nation as well as a series of trees that are used by Toronto's very own Michelin Star restaurant -  Enigma. Sam's art can be found in homes and businesses all across Canada and the USA with these pieces range in scale from wedding small favours to large scale commissions. 

As a self-taught sculptor, Sam began this journey nearly by accident having been inspired to create their first tree as a Christmas gift. From the timid first twists of the wires, Sam's work quickly began to find its own shape as they harnessed their creativity in search of ways to represent Canadian nature. Today, these trees represent thousands of hours that Sam has poured into this craft and each piece reflects their love for the world around them. 

Currently Sam is using Due North Trees as a creative outlet. Every sale and commission makes a real difference as Sam works towards becoming a licensed architect.
