{"title":"Melanie Samra","description":"\u003cp\u003eMelanie Samra was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, where her love of color and creativity showed up early, starting with a legendary childhood “masterpiece” that turned her white bedroom into something worthy of Jackson Pollock. That early lesson taught her that not every blank canvas should be taken literally, but it definitely sparked a lifelong passion for art and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter earning a Fine Arts degree from Dawson College and graduating from OCADU in Toronto, Melanie worked as a freelance illustrator before joining Sunworthy Wallcoverings as a full-time designer. There she discovered surface pattern and textile design and quickly rose to Design Director. Today, she runs Samra Design Studio Inc., creating wallpaper and fabric designs she loves, and yes, her bedroom is now completely white.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8297\/1047\/collections\/MelissaGilbert_7845afd3-958e-4e94-aca0-3d1cd20ee441.jpg?v=1770321528","url":"https:\/\/thequiltshopatlindamaries.com\/collections\/modern-prairie-by-melissa-gilbert-copy-1.oembed","provider":"The Quilt Shop at Linda Marie's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
