Steven G. Smith
My art reflects people and places that catch my eye…the interesting composition of a scene, the play of light and shadows, intriguing figures, or the emotion evoked. Many times, the basis for my paintings is a photograph as photography allows me to record what captures my attention. When I take a photograph, I am visualizing the painting it may become. The painting is not a copy of the photo. The photograph is merely a starting or “jumping off” point. I combine this recorded moment with memories, experiences, imagination, and sketches to create the final work.
I am interested in creating works that are visually strong with motion, emotion, and color. In my landscapes I hope to convey a “sense of place” for the viewer and enable them to experience that place through the painting.

Whether through writing, music, or painting, artists are interpreting and sharing their inspiration. My inspiration is visual, and I share through my art what I cannot express through words or music.
