Sam Roberts’ work primarily focuses on color, texture and how materials interact with one another. She aims to explore color through different processes such as weaving, painting, digital printing, and dyeing. She draws color inspiration from nature, vintage textiles from the 60’s and 70’s era, and everyday found objects. Her goal as a designer is to create beautiful hand crafted fabrics for fashion and wall decor.
