SAMANTHA SEDEROF
Visual Anthropologist, Artists and Psychotherapist
Since studying visual anthropology in Melbourne, Australia and fine art in Florence, Italy I have contributed artworks to both group and solo exhibitions. A multi-disciplinary artist, I explore a variety of media to design and produce her creative projects. Her work examines the tension between forces, relational juxtaposition, transference between people and our ecology. My work is held in various private collections both within Australia and internationally, and has been commissioned for workshops, private collections and murals. I currently work as an accredited Psychotherapist in the community mental health sector providing art psychotherapy to improve participants' wellbeing. I have founded, alongside my private practice, the Studio Art Group supporting artists with complex mental health concerns to develop their personal and professional arts practice.
