Mike Smith

Artist Biography

Mike Smith finds inspiration for the subjects and colors for his art, prints and posters in the gardens and rural setting of his home and studio in the Pacific Northwest.

While pets wander through many of his watercolors, loosely based on the artist's life, and gardens are full of the riotous bloom of the idyllic pastoral or small-town life, several of his equally successful art, print and posters depict more exotic fauna.

Giraffes, an elephant, a lion, too, draw on Smith's profound artistic experience and spiritual delight in the forms of nature. Infusing his art, prints and posters with this fine sense of celebration and with the pleasures of home and commitment to its care and nurturing, Smith creates works of great charm and visual excitement that are widely collected and exhibited.
