In this episode, Emi interviews Janet Sams of Janet Sams Art Studio! They discuss the impact of Hurricane Ian on her business, personal life and that of her community and how she turned tragedy into triumph, with help from her friends and wonderful people in her community!
After Hurricane Ian devastated Sams’ home, studio, and gallery, she searched for new locations to create and distribute her artwork to art lovers beyond her local region.
Sams specializes in creating artwork from discarded glass collected at various scrap locations, ranging from recycling facilities and thrift stores to glass blowers with whom she has built supplier relationships. Sams, a nature lover and advocate of reducing her carbon footprint, enjoys upcycling trash into treasure.
