“THE LORE OF SAMANTHA MARIE GRIX”
MY LOREFor what felt like a lot longer than it was, my head was lost down the wrong path. It was in my worst moment when I saw the world change from black and white back to technicolor. That chapter of my life ended up being my muse. Once I had that, I really grew into this creative I have always been. A lot of truth lies in that saying “pain inspires art”; I think I wouldn’t be doing the things I am today without all those painful moments (or the trees). I hope to use my creativity to not only inspire others, but give them a sense of comfort and inspiration in our beautifully bizarre thoughts we all have.
I take inspiration from the minds of other artists/creatives who’s growth is evident through their work, yet it is distinctively their own. You can see them evolve and spread to other areas, exploring their creativity’s potential. Bones, Marc Jacobs, Julia Fox, Rob and Sheri Moon Zombie, G59 and friends, these are those whom I am inspired by - the creatives who are always focused on the messages and ideas that need to be relayed to others in unimaginable ways.
I plan on continuing the expansion of my knowledge in the fashion industry. I have done the technical side of apparel production and it’s lifecycle, and now I plan on learning more about apparel construction and design.
My ultimate goal would be a job that somehow involves other artistic industries within fashion, yet still channels what I believe in. All I have ever hoped for is to help inspire and comfort people who also faced mental health issues the way I have. I think fashion and the artistry that comes with it is a very unique and beautiful way to do that.
