<p>How artist Samantha French <a href="http://www.samanthafrench.com/about/">describes</a> her work:</p>
<blockquote><p>My current body of work is focused on swimmers underwater and above. Using vague yet consuming memories from my childhood summers spent immersed in the tepid lakes of northern Minnesota, I attempt to recreate the quiet tranquility of water and nature; of days spent sinking and floating, still and peaceful.</p></blockquote>
