Smith is the leading pencil artist in The Bahamas and one of
the few artists in North America who work exclusively in graphite
and coloured pencil. He is a self-taught artist who has been
creating photo-realistic images since 1977. His passion and
impeccable attention to detail have earned him the reputation
of being one of the finest in the field of drawing. His ability
to produce lifelike images captures the essence of the natural
environment as well as the authenticity of historical architecture
such as landmark hotels, prestigious private clubs, and private
residences. |
