Samsoche Sampson is an Interdisciplinary artist based in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. He was born and raised in Southern California and moved around the United States before settling in Minnesota. Samsoche has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Columbia College Chicago and an Associate of Arts from Erie Community College.

His work includes performances of traditional and contemporary dance and music fusions. Samsoche’s indigenous heritage and culture inform his studio and 2D work, which are designed with movement and bright, bold colors. His work has been shown at Columbia College Chicago, The Ware Center (Millersville University), and The Reif Performing Arts Center in Grand Rapids, MN.

Samsoche and his wife Fawn opened their own design and print business due to the constant requests for help in a variety of projects. Through their small business they offer a variety of arts based services and products such as customized t-shirts, custom cornhole bags, graphic design, murals, workshops, and more! 

This exhibit showcases the custom cornhole bag and board designs that Samsoche has created through TRYXTR Bag Company.
