Hey There,

 My name is Sam, a Brazilian girl living in Georgia (US).  Art has always been part of me since growing up in my native country, and after graduating as a communication designer, I worked in the graphic design field.  But after having 3 kiddos, my focus was on my family. However, what goes around stays around, and as they grew older, I rediscovered my roots and found a new passion in the surface pattern design world. With this newly kindled passion, my inspiration continues to grow. I love discovering my art in the world around me, and my inspiration comes from my travels, from nature, and from the simple things of life that bring me peace and joy, and of course reinforce my Brazilian culture and heritage.

When not working on my artistic passions, or working on Portuguese translation and interpretation work, I love taking care of my family, and you will often find me exploring nature, kayaking, going hiking, or just drinking a Brazilian espresso coffee while reading a good book!

My work is available for licensing, and I hope you enjoy it!!
