Hello, I'm Samantha. I'm an illustrator, graphic designer, macrame enthusiast, and lover of all things elephants.

f8b684e6 Driven by color and textures, I'm most inspired by Eric Carle's tissue paper technique. I decorate my own papers by hand for each project, so each piece has some unique elements. My drawings are typically hand cut from the papers then scanned to later receive a kiss from digital retouching. I believe the simplest shapes lead to the most graphic impact, especially when they are paired with brilliant color and texture. 47c644bc Though I'm fascinated by lots-lots-lots of picture book artist, my heroes include: Eric Carle (naturally), Leo Lionni, Liz Murphy, Kate Endle, and Melissa Sweet.
