Samantha Hutchinson-Ouranos is a Mexican-American, full-time mother and artist from Monterrey Mexico.

As a graphic designer, she's lived in Switzerland, Mexico and the U.S, where she's worked in advertising, corporate and non profit.

For Hutchinson-Ouranos, illustrating and painting have been a lifetime joy and her true calling. In 2015 she launched S A M M I O T Z I, a creative brand from which she creates commercial products and apparel, marketing campaigns, and fine art.

Her art is a reflection of her beliefs, spiritual journey and her connection with her ancestors and social justice. All of her products are inspired from her original illustrations.

As a Latinx artist and designer, she believes it's important to use her voice. Some of her activism work includes paintings detailing the impact of domestic violence in the psyche of women, children, and men with the SOMOS exhibition, and with Poder NC Action campaign for which she helped create a campaign to increase Latinx voter turnout.

She currently resides in Colorado with her husband and children.
