About the Artist
“Farms, beautiful landscapes and the people who traverse them have always been an inspiration to me, and I hope to share that appreciation with everyone.” – Samuel Sánchez Sr.

It was 1968, and I was savoring Mrs. Josefa L. Sambrano’s gorditas at the San Elizario fiesta. There were butterflies in my belly as I conversed with José Cisneros, who would become a world-renowned pen-and-ink artist. We developed a friendship, and the lessons he gave me in his basement studio are memories I will keep forever.
My interest in history spawned at the age of 13. I taught myself to draw, then paint, and continued to practice as I started my family. I was blessed to have several works published in books and national magazines, True West and Order of the Indian Wars among them.
