Feature of the Moment: 

I will be offering Summer Art classes at the Hovel.  E-mail me if you have any suggestions or requests for classes you would like to have!


     Remember: keep track of my current activity at the bottom of this Welcome page; I post whenever I add a new item!

Samplicity Art Hovel is the gallery / store / studio of Samantha Ann Bohnert.  It features a 13-foot white gallery wall with rotating shows, and has space to sell fine crafts and art made by local artisans.  Samantha Ann Bohnert does oil painting, mural/nursery painting, drawing, sculpting in many media, woodworking, calligraphy, textile work, and much more.  If you would like to have a solo or group show at the Hovel, or if you have one-of-a-kind, excellently-made fine crafts that you think could be displayed and sold there, please contact Samantha@samplicityarthovel.com!

A note about my online process:
Rather than go through a middle-man seller, I prefer to have as personal contact as possible with my customers. On the product pages and some archive pages, you can click on links to e-mail me with regards to any piece you would like to buy or ask more about. At that time, I will calculate how much it will cost to ship that particular piece. Then I will get back to you about the final cost and we will be able to go from there.
