About Kay Smith:
Before retiring to the Smoky Mountains, I traveled the world. Living in other countries and among other cultures, I learned that there was more than one way of looking at things. I have applied this principle to my life as well as my art.
I took up painting on my own because I wanted to merge some of my favorite things into a single image. Soon my imagination began working overtime with ideas and the magic of art became my life-long passion. I bought many “how to” books, studied the old masters, and started looking at everything around my in minute detail. After retiring, I began taking art classes and dedicated all my time to painting. I display and sell my art in galleries and other locations in North Carolina and Florida.
Working in oils, I look at my subject from every point of view, and then try to capture its essence on canvas. I have found that there is magic in everything, and works at bringing it out of every day life into its own unique beauty - whether is be a simple object or an entire scene. This is what I try to convey through my art. I invite the viewer to see things from a different prospective, to experience all the colors, shapes, and intensity of everyday things. In this complex and hurried world, I entice the viewer to stop and look at the simple beauty that is all around them. Life is magical. Enjoy it. Have fun on the awesome journey!
