Ian Smith artist. Ian Smith artist. Ian Smith artist. Well that should keep Google happy and now a BIG welcome to the real people!
I live in Yorkshire and get a headache looking at all the things and people around me that I could draw or paint. It's a wonderful world and I try to capture some of its atmosphere and excitement, using a wide range of media. I was delighted to receive an SAA award for abstract and experimental painting in the 2021 'Artists of the Year' competition and to receive the runner up award for the 'Best landscape scene' in 2023.
I enjoy working with local art groups giving demonstrations and workshops. My aim is to help artists to experiment and find their own style. Please contact me to discuss your needs.
My daughter and I have published a book of her poems loosely combined with my paintings, titled 'Light and Shadow', offering lateral interpretations of both. To order click here for my Light and Shadow gallery page.
I hope you enjoy looking at my paintings. Please let me know what you think using the 'Contact' page.
