Exposed Landscape

Smith specializes in limited edition fine art, with a primary focus on still lifes. He prints his work in black and white and color, using both traditional photographic processes and archival pigment ink on fine cotton printmaking papers. Smith feels his role as an artist is to be open, curious, and available to observe and report back. He looks for something to move him so he might pass that onto the work. “The process of observing leaves one open to a mystery beyond thought or the so-called coincidence,” he says. This reverence for the unexpected is key. His work reflects on his walking disability, encouraging patience and an understanding in how to find beauty in the commonplace.
