Samuel was born in Leicester, England, which boasts the best Indian food in the world. Failed to master the piano by age 9. Adopted Vermonter by the age of 13. Failed to make skidging an Olympic sport by age 17 (Skidging is a sport where one hangs onto the bumper of an accelerating pick-up truck on a snow covered road. Athletes must remain standing, “skidging,” with their feet for as long as possible without killing themselves). Voted “Most Artistic” by classmates in High School yearbook age 18. Never knew quite how to handle the ensuing fame. Became a Naturalized United States Citizen at the age of 21. The worst part: having to relinquish “Resident Alien” card. Went to Europe searching for the old masters at 24, but skipped the Louvre, Uffizi, Prado, and many other museums because the lines were too long. Drove cross-country with girlfriend to Oregon at 26. B.F.A finally at 28. First offspring at 33. MFA finally at 34. Living and working currently in Western Massachusetts.
