Smith is a multi-media artist, and her work is a reflection that describes the complex counterbalance of asymmetries found in the dynamic forces of nature. She explores balance, examining ‘Patterns’ in our environment. Subtle variations of complementary hues, and warm and cool rhythms of light create an equivalence on all sides of the canvas. Layers of color, sometimes precisely blocking color first, then building, patterning and layering again. Beyond just recording nature, her work involves feeling nature’s rhythms and changing seasons, very influenced by her solitary walks and direct relationship with the environment in California.
