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's lakes and forests. Every tree offers new discovery and serene sunset paddles drive his passion to hone and perfect his craft. 

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 and these pieces range in scale from wedding favours to large scale commissions. 

As a self-taught sculptor, Sam began this journey nearly by accident having been inspired to create his 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 is unique with no two being the same. 

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.
