Sam D'Cruze is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, textiles, and socially engaged art, exploring themes of memory, identity, and resilience through layered surfaces, abstract embroidery, and text-based interventions. Her tactile works balance intimacy with abstraction, using materiality and process to reveal traces of personal and collective experience.

Originally founder of the luxury design label Darkest Star, D’Cruze developed an early sensitivity to craftsmanship, sensuality, and the body that continues to inform her contemporary practice. Textile and stitch become vehicles for narrative, emotion, and repair, reflecting a deeply considered approach to making.

Alongside her studio practice, D’Cruze’s work is rooted in social engagement and community collaboration. Following the loss of her father to alcohol dependency in 2015, her practice evolved into one centred on creativity as a tool for healing and connection. In 2022, she founded Child Of Project C.I.C., supporting individuals in recovery, those experiencing homelessness, and neurodiverse communities through workshops and exhibitions. She holds a Master of Research in Fine Art and Humanities from the Royal College of Art.

Beyond creating artworks, Jazmine delivers lectures and workshops at various institutions, exploring ethics, conservation, and the role of makers in shaping a better future for the planet.
