A Life Surrounded by MINIs.

MINIs have been part of Sam’s life for as long as he can remember. “My family have always owned MINIs, whether it was classics in the early ‘80s or early 2000s,” he says. In 2017, Sam bought his own classic Rover MINI Sprite, a 1993 model modified with power steering and a left-foot accelerator so he can drive comfortably despite living with Cerebral Palsy. “It’s become part of the furniture of my life,” he adds.

From Animation Student to CG Artist.

Sam’s journey into digital art began at university, where he studied animation. After a break, he started teaching himself 3D modelling, inspired by the possibilities in gaming and visual effects. His favorite piece, Gridlock, is a vibrant, colourful artwork featuring MINIs in an imaginative cityscape, showing off the depth of his skill and creativity.

Looking Ahead.

For the future, Sam wants to keep connecting with more people at car shows, sharing his artwork and spreading a message that disability doesn’t mean limits. “Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean you have to sit inside all the time,” he says. Through his work and community engagement, Sam is showing that creativity, courage, and passion can take you anywhere.
