Wanda Samford East Texas scenic painter

Born in South Texas, Wanda Raymond Samford became a scenic painter after moving to East Texas in the late 1960's. Studying and perfecting her art, her earliest work was influenced greatly by the renowned painter Woodrow Foster. Her work includes scenes of barns, old houses, every day life in rural settings and scenes from her childhood. Her work also documents snow covered mountains, and scenes from earlier times in Galveston, Texas and that local area. The majority of her art was painted between the years of 1970 to 1990 in Center, Texas where her family still resides. She suddenly and without apparant reason discontinued painting in the early 1990's.
