SAMMY G
ABSTRACT ARTIST
A lifelong California native, Sammy spent decades forging a successful real-estate career and running Sam’s Squeaky Cleaning Service. When a rare genetic condition began to rob her of vision, she reached a life-changing turning point: a painting set gifted by her sister. That spark reignited a dormant passion, and today Sammy’s abstracts burst with color, movement, and joy.

KIM ANDREWS
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER
Orange County–based fine art photographer Kim Andrews captures the subtle poetry of place in his realistic landscapes and portraits. Inspired by extensive travel, his new series Global Love invites viewers to wander through layered memories, shifting light, and the textures of time.
“Each of these artists brings something deeply personal – and profoundly uplifting – to Narrow Space. Sammy G’s journey from entrepreneur to painter exemplifies true resilience. Kim’s photographic realism and Debbie’s kinetic oil works together to create a vibrant dialogue about growth, transformation, and the magic of late-blooming creativity.”
