Hello, my name is Samara but everyone calls me Sam. I was born & raised in beautiful Greenville SC where I still reside. My artistic journey began over twenty-nine years ago and I have been obsessed with making art ever since!

 Art for me is about pushing your personal boundaries by using a variety of materials and learning new techniques. Letting your inner child play is so important in the creative process. I create because it helps me feel mentally and spiritually balanced. Art has saved my life over and over again. Without creativity I would be lost.

At the Samara Designs Studio, I personally hand craft every piece of artwork from start to finish. I am the designer, fabricator, marketer, photographer & bookkeeper. This business is my dream & I want to share it with you.
