Sam Flores was born in 1975, immersed in the stark beauty of the New Mexico desert. In 1995, he moved to San Francisco seeking life as working artist and the Bohemian lifestyle of the Bay Area. He's shown at Virgin 69, 5024, and Hotel Biron galleries, as well as traveling shows to New York, Canada, Singapore, Tokyo and throughout Europe. His focal medium is paint on maps, blue prints and canvas. His palette tends to lean toward earth tones, perhaps an homage to the colors of his youth in New Mexico.
