Artist Biography
Samantha Vassor (b. 1997, Long Island, NY) is a Haitian-Filipina-American CGI artist and designer based in Miami, Florida.

She has exhibited her work in the annual Asian American International Film Festival, The Chroma Art Film Festival, Dateagle ‘Control the Virus Vol 03’, ARTSTHREAD X ID Magazine Global Graduate Show Shortlist, and Serving the People’s BFA Show 2020.
