Artist Bio

Amy Smith is a self-taught contemporary artist always evolving.

Her artwork includes murals, stencils, collage work, illustrations, digital graphic design, paint,
and spray paint, all to create one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect both her passions and fury,
juxtaposed through the lens of imagination.
While some of her work is driven by political, social, and environmental injustice, most reflect her deeply-rooted optimism and belief in the power of the feminist spirit, unity and love.

Her portrait collage series deconstructs recycled fashion magazines to represent both her love for self-expression and her contempt for excessive consumption and manipulation.
Tearing fashion magazines that are carefully crafted to objectify women, she transforms
corporate messaging into words and images that celebrate people that create our beautiful
tapestry of humanity.

When humanity is seen as more than just a number or consumer, we can connect on a deeper level.

Amy Smith's work has been featured in prestigious art exhibitions like the LA Art Show, The Other Art Fair, and has been selected for various public art initiatives including LA County Arts celebrating the Centennial of the 19th Amendment among many others.
With her first upcoming museum show at Ontario museum at the end of 2022, she continues to expand her message throughout the art world.

Her work is internationally collected, gallery represented and featured on many tv/film shows. Her focus is to connect humanity through her art by sharing messages of a hope and unity for a better future
