Samantha Redles

Hi y’all!

Welcome to Human Made Signs & Murals, where creativity meets craftsmanship! I'm Sam Redles, the owner and artist who is passionate about creating unique and eye-catching hand-designed signs and murals. With a passion for experimentation, I have worked on various surfaces including wood, fiberglass, brick, glass, corrugated metal, and more. No challenge is too big for me! Each project is approached with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to bringing your vision to life.

I am based in Baltimore, MD and serve the DC/Maryland area. I am willing to travel and have completed projects in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and New Hampshire. I have worked for small businesses, residential clients, and large corporations, such as, Amazon, Under Armour, Guinness Brewery, Baltimore Public Markets Corporation, Patagonia, and more.

Besides being a visual artist, I earned my Master in Fine Art in Curatorial Practice from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA, 2015 ). I owe my sign painting career to my time at MICA. During graduate school I was required to choose a subject for my graduate thesis with the stipulation that I collaborated with a community partner to develop and install an exhibition. In partnership with the Baltimore Museum of Industry I curated, researched, designed fundraised, installed the exhibit NOT YET LOST! The Art of Maryland Sign Painters. 

Through my research I found my tribe and in 2018 I was encouraged to pick up a brush and try my hand at the art. It was my moment in which I said, “This is what I need to do. This is what I need to pursue.” In 2019 I took the leap and started Human Made Signs & Murals. Needless to say I will never turn back.
