In early June, Emma and I took a trip to Brooklyn to visit the studio of fantastical artist Sam Simon during the Bushwick Open Studio event they have each year. This is a wonderful experience for children who have an interest in art for sure!

Emma's mouth nearly hung open as she witnessed Sam's imagery for the first time. "There were castles with rainbows and a sun made out of a donut Mommy!", she said. When I asked her what her favorite part of meeting Sam was she replied, "he let me paint with him and he gave me glitter cheeseballs!" What five year old wouldn't love that?!?

Whether you are young or old, you will LOVE Sam's art which is strikingly styled, heirloom quality and 100% cute 'n' chic. Sam Simon's artwork will hang on your wall for as long as you like, but will hang in your heart forever!

Sam has developed a line of work which is both admired and appreciated by the style-savvy, while providing an endless source of wonder for the imaginative child. Each work is custom tailored and hand-painted; adorned with tiny details like long eyelashes on his trademarked menagerie and finished with Swarovski crystals.

It is clear when you meet Sam that his passion for the beautiful murals he creates, as well as the hand-painted children's rooms and made to order stretched canvas paintings he does, comes from from deep within. If you are about to embark on designing a new nursery, redecorating a children's room, or just want something special for yourself... this is the man you need to meet and hire.
