Help us give a warm welcome to Jeremy Sams, a FIRST TIME participant in Forgotten Coast en Plein Air!

Jeremy Sams is an award winning representational artist residing in Archdale, NC whose primary subject matter is landscapes while working in acrylics. Jeremy’s personal inspirations come mostly from the play of light and atmosphere and their effects on objects and landscapes. His most favorite areas of subject matter are the rolling hills and mountains of North Carolina along with its waterways, and special array of trees and meadows. It’s not uncommon to see Jeremy with his outdoor easel set up on the side of the road or on a river bank somewhere with brush in hand.

You can catch Jeremy and other premier artists at the 19th annual Forgotten Coast en Plein Air, March 15-24, 2024 -- Ten days of FREE and TICKETED events, exhibitions and activities for art lovers, collectors, artists and YOU!

Forgotten Coast en Plein Air is an annual outdoor painting event held in the Forgotten Coast region of Florida, specifically along the Gulf Coast. The term "en plein air" is French for "in the open air," indicating the practice of painting outdoors, capturing landscapes, seascapes, and the essence of the natural surroundings directly from life. 🖼️🎨

Artists from around the country gather to create artworks inspired by the beauty of the coastal scenery, which often includes beaches, marshes, quaint towns, and historic architecture.
