SAMANTHA CHEUNG

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Samantha Cheung is a calligrapher, hand lettering artist and muralist.

As a self-taught artist, she started off with traditional western calligraphy and began her brand Wood n Ink in 2016, creating pen and ink work. She later took a twist on her career and began to write & draw on much larger surfaces like chalkboards and walls.

Her style is versatile, but mainly focuses on vintage-looking, detailed and intricate line work, combining the beauty of calligraphy with pen-and-ink drawing. Her clients include lululemon, Pandora, Lancôme, Jo Malone, and various schools & cafes across HK.
Samantha also loves sharing her passion in calligraphy, and have been hosting both private and corporate workshops to teach calligraphy.

Samantha Cheung 在香港出生和長大,是一位書法家、手寫藝術家和壁畫家。

作為一名自學成才的藝術家,她從西方傳統書法起步,並於 2016 年創立了自己的品牌 Wood n Ink,創作鋼筆和墨水作品。後來她改變了自己的職業生涯,開始在更大的表面上寫字和繪畫,比如黑板和牆壁。

她的風格是多才多藝的,但主要側重於復古、細緻和復雜的線條作品,將書法之美與筆墨相結合。她的客戶包括 lululemon、Pandora、Lancôme、Jo Malone 以及香港各地的各種學校和咖啡館。

Samantha 也喜歡分享她對書法的熱情,並一直舉辦私人和企業講習班來教授書法。

Samantha based her mural on the four seasons and her favorite times within those seasons which are Spring mornings, Winter afternoons, Fall evenings, and Summer nights. Each period contains elements and details person to her. Spring mornings are represented through nature, a lake, a farmhouse, and a boat, named R.S. Winter afternoons are significant to Samantha for their temporal warmth and dreaminess, therefore the pine trees, unicorns, bubbles, a castle. As for Fall evenings, they are breathy, full of beautiful colors and sunsets. Within this part of the mural, you can find her walking her dogs (Nemo & Dori) up the mountains as she would in real life. Lastly, Summer nights simply the best for Sam. It’s clear skies and sparkling stars. She also loves being by the sea watching the moon at this time of the year, these associations go back to a moment when she was not yet 20 and she floated in the water of a beach near her home and saw bright stars and a beautiful moon.

Samantha根據四個季節和她最喜歡的季節(春天的早晨、冬天的下午、秋天的夜晚和夏天的夜晚)創作她的壁畫。每個時期都包含對她而言的元素和細節。春天的早晨通過大自然、湖泊、農舍和一艘名為 R.S.的船。冬天的午後對Samantha來說意義重大,因為它們短暫的溫暖和夢幻,因此松樹、獨角獸、泡泡、一座城堡。至於秋天的晚上,它們是會呼吸的,充滿了美麗的色彩和日落。在壁畫的這一部分,您可以看到她像在現實生活中一樣帶著她的狗 (Nemo & Dori) 上山。最後,夏夜對山姆來說是最好的。這是晴朗的天空和閃閃發光的星星。每年的這個時候,她也喜歡在海邊看月亮,這些聯想可以追溯到她還不到20歲時,她漂浮在她家附近的海灘的水中,看到了明亮的星星和美麗的月亮。
