Audrey Z Smith is a painter and multi-media artist with a BA in Film and Media Arts from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.
Artist Statement:
My work is inspired by the way that painting makes me feel - alone but not lonely, not needing anything but that moment. My paintings may be about peace, the feeling of home, a specific person in my life, death, the space to be alone, a place of being loved and protected. I paint to be able to process my emotions. I use meditation as a tool to ground myself before I paint or do anything that's hard or that makes me nervous and a lot of my work is an exploration of things I see or imagine when I meditate.
Audrey’s artwork is currently in painting. Though her background as a musician and experimental filmmaker influence her work and can be viewed and listened to under PROJECTS. Audrey’s studio roams from Philadelphia to Colorado and Utah, currently. See her projects page for more.
