Samuel Bjorgum defines his work as pictures resulting from improvisational processes. His most recent work, which he calls dot paintings, present disorderly arrangements of painted dots of different color and size, that appear to crowd together, drift apart, and overlap one another.

With a strong exhibition record, Samuel Bjorgum had paintings featured in the two-person exhibition Paint No Wrong Paint No Right at the well-regarded alternative gallery Tuck Under Projects in Edina, Minnesota (2014), and in the solo exhibition Aporias at A Gathering of The Tribes Gallery, New York (2010). He also exhibited work at the Verge Art Fair in Miami (2008).  He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art from the University of Minnesota in 1999.
