About L Smith Arts LLC
Welcome to L. Smith Arts
I have had a lifelong appreciation for the arts and a passion for creating art for as long as I can remember. This personal connection with the visual and performing arts has guided me in my life work as an educator as well as a practicing artist.
The process of creating works of art requires creative thinking and being able to see the world from multiple perspectives. All humans have this ability and it is just a matter of finding this passion within yourself. Through art we can capture those special experiences and those memorable moments that have a special meaning to each of us.
We hope that you enjoy viewing our art works and will reach out to us if you have any interest in a piece of art or in discussing a personal original art work.
