About Samuel
Samuel Webster is a freelance artist working in multiple mediums. He was born in Sydney, Australia in the mid 80s and has spent the last few years living and working in Tuscany, Italy.
Samuel was the founder and Editor-in-Chief of online arts journal, Mood of Monk, and now has multiple projects under his belt including two books of poetry (Protogenos and Silencing the Dictator), collaboration with world-renowned choreographer Rafael Bonachela (2 One Another), and various other independent projects.
I met Samuel first through the poetry of his writing before I met him personally, but there was an immediate recognition of a remarkable spirit… I am in awe of the way in which he can capture the physical art of dance, the aural art of music and grasp inner meaning which he effortlessly translates into words. It is such a gift.
