Sam is a former Spindleworks artist known for his paintings of superheroes, often presenting them as sequential groupings of comic characters. His work frequently focused on well-known figures, including a series on Batman that featured a full range of characters in his signature style of elongated forms.

His drawing and painting themes of cabin fever, chicken pox and mother and child relationships often revealed his inner conversations. He participated in productions with Al Miller at The Theater Project for over 10 years, acting and performing, singing and dancing with a strong sense of humor.
