Samson Low was born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. As a native Hawaiian he was surrounded by the culture throughout his life. 

​

Samson was introduced to art much later in life than most. While pursuing a computer science degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa he stumbled upon "Intro to Glass by Rick Mills." Unknown to him, this would be the hardest but most rewarding and fulfilling class he had ever taken. The next semester he switched his major to Art Studio with a focus in glass. 

​​​

During this time Samson was formally trained in welding and metal fabrication, woodworking, and jewelry making. All of these were applied to his glass art. 

​

Over time Samson's cultural upbringing began to show itself within the molten glass. He has created multiple series such as the Hānau or birth in Hawaiian, depicting the legend of when the goddess of fire (Pele) created or gave birth to the Hawaiian islands. 

​​

Samson's work continues to evolve with his cultural knowledge inspiring new pieces that perpetuate those ʻŌlelo (Stories) for others to see.
