About Samantha Grenier
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.
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.
I am a freelance Graphic Designer and Illustrator. I am the proud author and illustrator to a few Non-Fiction How-To books: Parachute Cord Craft: Quick and Simple Instructions for 22 Cool Projects, (Design Originals, January 2013) and Hello! Macramé, (Design Originals, March 2014), and Macramé for Home Décor, (Fox Chapel Publishing, June 2019).
You may also find me on Skillshare here; class titled Drawing with painted paper: cut-paper basics for artists.
