Who is Sam Rivers?

Part artist, part writer, part unicorn but most of all a storyteller.

Whether it be creating polymer clay charms, painting artworks, or writing stories, my creations are inspired by nature, folk charm, nostalgia, and a hint of something magical. As I’ve continued to develop my craft, I wanted to take the time to document and reflect on this journey. This space exists to document my journey as a creative.

  • Currently, I am working on adding polymer clay charm inventory to my shop, creating one monthly 4”x6” print for my mail club, and building this website to include some of the behind the scenes of my creative processes. I am also working on writing my first novel — slowly but surely!

  • Enya, Ludovico Einaudi, Antonio Vivaldi, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

    (I romanticize the process of creation with a soundtrack that feels ethereal and expansive)

  • Everything is Illuminated & The Chronicles of Narnia

    (Folk charm with a touch magic)

  • Can’t choose one! Depends on the day.

    1) Coffee with warm milk and honey

    2) Iced strawberry jam matcha latte

    3) Warm matcha latte

  • Petrichor

  • I’d be lying if I said the final reveal wasn’t satisfying. I am learning to be confident through the messy start! A blank canvas can still be scary after all these years.
