Artist: Jane Smithers | Location: Cashiers, NC
Cashiers, NC
My pilgrimage into the world of art has defined my destiny and led me on a circuitous journey. It has transformed myself as well as my circumstance. I have constructed an independent identity-an adventurer by choice! Each change of scenery releases a new creative vision. Each stroke of the palette knife declares my absolute commitment to my art!
As a self-taught artist, a world of color and expression has opened my life to the opportunities for learning and growth. Palette knives, rich textured, brilliant colored oil paints, and the endless possibilities afforded by large canvases have provided the venue for a wonderful adventure.
I was born in Pennsylvania, raised in Ponce, Puerto Rico and have lived in London, Houston, Cashiers, NC and New York City. I have painted and led workshops in South Africa, Viet Nam, Cambodia, New York City and many venues in the southeastern United States. Recent studies at The Art Student’s League, Spring Studio and the National Academy, NYC.
