Tides of Enchantment was a collaborative painting collection by Samantha Sawyer and Malia Anderson. These works intertwined the vibrant inspirations of their contrasting yet connected island upbringings, with Samantha growing up in The Bahamas and Malia in Hawaiʻi. The collection explored the whimsical influences of the natural environment, creating shimmering worlds within each painting.

Each artwork reflected an ongoing dialogue between the two artists, who exchanged the paintings throughout the creative process, building upon one another's ideas with every layer. Influenced by Malia's background as a fiber artist, the artists embroidered intricate beads and embellishments into the works, emphasizing the dreamlike worlds they created together.
