Hello, I’m Samantha Giancola of Giancola Art & Design. I am an artist by heart, an interior designer by education, and now a pattern designer too!

I always knew I was an artist since I was a little girl. I created all the time and dreamed of one day selling my art in a shop, or better yet…owning that shop. Eventually I fell in love with interior design and got my degree in college. Meanwhile I put aside creating art at that time. After I graduated college I worked as an interior designer and sales person at a local family owned furniture store. I spent my time picking out decor, furnishings, fabrics, and other elements to help make peoples houses feel like homes. 7 years into that it was time to start a family, and I have been a stay at home mom ever since.

After both my sons were born I started to dabble in art again. A fire inside was lite when I picked up an old set of watercolors and began to experiment. I was hooked and haven’t put down my paints yet. Then in 2019 the idea for Giancola Art & Design was started. I began selling my art as cards and I realized I was living a dream I forgot I had. 2020 brought lots of change for many businesses, including mine. Since no markets were open I decided to open an Etsy page. That little girl inside who dreamed of creating art, selling it and having her own shop started to come alive again. As the world started to open back up and more markets started to come back alive, I’ve been taking my art on the road and selling as a maker in different venues. But the only thing missing in Giancola Art & Design was the design part.

Flash forward to 2023, and I completed a course learning surface pattern design! Now I’m getting to see what my designs would look like on products, fabrics, wallpaper, stationary and more. I’m really living my dream one small step at a time. As you can see, I take the words “Keep Going. Keep Growing” to heart.

Can’t wait to see where my business will take me as I keep going and growing in my art and design life, and I’m so glad you are here with me!
