Lauren Smith

Tampa Bay’s Award Winning Artist, Lauren Smith captures the excitement and spontaneity of life in a variety of media and dimensions. Lauren’s painting style was heavily influenced by her years as an artist in Maui. Her exotic colors reflect the tropical climate and her approach is inspired by the capricious nature of the Hawaiian paradise. She studied art at the University of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain School of Art and continues her studies under renowned artists, as well as in numerous technical workshops.

Lauren has a unique approach to her painting subjects and an eye for exciting and distinctive media. She may use anything from watercolor, ink, acrylic and house paint to digital tools and animation to create the perfect work of art. Her distinctive works have been shown in local galleries, as backdrops for chart topping musicians, at major theme parks and at theatrical, and corporate events. They have appeared many times on television, in top name international events, schools and even presidential campaigns. Lauren has twenty years of experience using art to produce specific effects on

the viewer. "Whether I am creating a painting or a mural, I find it stimulating to influence the world around me in positive ways," says Lauren. She is committed to using art to nurture education, and her transformed school cafeteria was recently in the spotlight on Good Morning America, CBS Evening News, and in Time Magazine.

 

Words about Lauren:

"L. Smith looks at the physical and emotional landscapes of a tropical life and sees the intangibles - lush, narrative, moody, whimsical- and weaves these observations into her designs. She is out to intrigue you, entertain and delight. And while she’s at it, she invites you into her experience through your own imagination."

 

"Smith’s worlds of saturated blues, reds, yellows and greens, have an intensity that often gives them a 3-D pop. Her surreal, Epigphany, is playful, dreamy and disconcerting, all at the same time. You can bring your own interpretation to the party of images. That’s part of its charm."

 

Her feast of styles is born out of a creative intelligence that loves to be challenged. She has taught herself the craft of designing and producing theatrical backdrops, illustrating video games, developing and executing concepts for theme parks and murals. Her portfolio reflects the breadth and depth of her experience as an artist.


L Smith’s art transforms environments from the banal to the unexpected; whether it’s a school cafeteria featured on Good Morning America, tour stages for stars such as Alan Jackson, Big & Rich and Sugarland—or a space in your home. Immerse yourself in L. Smith’s art and you too will be transformed.
