Sam graduated from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and the Carmel Art Institute, studying figurative and still life painting. He was the pupil of John Cunningham and Alexander Archipenko and befriended John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath). He was also part of a group of Monterey artists called "The New Group".
