BIOGRAPHY

The love of art started early and I have been painting since grade school. Landscape photography started at age 10. My most meaningful award to date was bestowed by a juror from New Zealand the celebrated impressionist plein air painter Gaston De Vel. However, as with all artists, our most cherished honor is the acceptance of our art into the hearts and homes of our patrons. Museum quality prints of my paintings and landscape photography are available at FINE ART AMERICA.com http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/kevin-smith.html      . . . . . . . . . . . . .
