Sam Matthews Resources
Sam is the brilliant creative behind Propagate Studios and the Art Supply Thrift revolution
by Rachel Rubin · Mon 7 Sep 2026
Sam is a multi-medium artist who has coined herself an “artprepreur”. She first started her creative entrepreneurial journey on the road hosting pop up workshops at cafes, breweries and festivals with her VW bus, Flo. She is now the founder of Propagate Studio, a creative space and NJ’s primary art supply thrift shop as well as the ArtBnb, a creative retreat space on the same property. She is passionate about empowering others to tap into their own creativity while being inspired by her teaching and the experience of creating among others. She believes everyone has an artist inside them but often times lack the space, time, and resources to explore their creative potential.
