SAM’s New Studio Mural by Andrea Holmes
To commemorate our new studios, SAM commissioned local McKinney artist and fellow Cotton Mill tenant, Andrea Holmes, to paint an original mural depicting inspiration from our 30+ years of experience creating world-leading sonic brands. Andrea is the preeminent mural artist in North Texas having painted countless pieces across the region. From concept to creation, it was exciting to watch the artwork come to life across the month-long process.
Every aspect of the piece is intentionally tied to our history and values – elements of the 1970 Guild D-40 guitar that started it all; colors of the Texas flag, our home state; musical notation from one of our many sonic brands; songbirds representing our clients sharing our music with the world; and guitar strings morphing into cotton stems, demonstrating our tie to hands-on, natural elements, as well as our new home at the historic Cotton Mill in McKinney.
If you’re ever in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out. We’d love to see you!
