Samantha Ortiz is a Brazilian-American visual artist working with the intersection of fine arts and the slow movement concept of clothing. Exploring the power of the feminine spiral healing frequency, Ortiz partners with active meditation in the process of hand spinning to take it from plant based fibers to yarns to garments to sculptures, translating the spiritual and the aesthetical engagement of the process.
In 20 plus years working with visual art, Ortiz had her work exhibited at Venice Biennial Art, have done lectures, workshops and exhibitions in Art Museums, Art Galleries, Design Stores and Art Institutions in Lisbon (Portugal), Madrid (Spain), Valparaíso (Chile), Indianapolis, New Orleans and New York (USA) and many cities in Brazil.
