Sammm originally developed an interest in make up artistry through working in face painting and creating outrageous hair and make up designs for members of the London fetish/alternative club scene.

Influenced by the visually extravagant side of life, she wanted to continue to alter natural form in her work, in a way that encompassed her love of collage, expressionist painting, Dada, and abstract sculpture.

This led her to create more experimental looks using a wider range of materials, and to combine her artistic practice with on skin application.

Earning her honours degree at The London College of Fashion in Costume, Technical Effects and Make up she was able to explore more advanced types of prop design and production through the use of mould making, carpentry skills and metal work.

Her adeptness in this wide range of disciplines enables her to easily source the right technique and material needed for any related project.

Sammm Agnew has been professionally comissioned to design and create work for high profile clients since 2006.
