Palm Springs, California
Born and raised in the lively city of New Orleans, Ted Smith discovered his love for Art and Design at the University of New Orleans. He then found his home in Southern California, where he has resided for the past 25 years. Ted expresses his artistic journey primarily through acrylics, exploring two distinct styles that showcase his versatility and creativity. In his abstract pieces, Ted delves into the intricacies of his emotional landscape, capturing intangible moods and sentiments on the canvas, inviting viewers to ponder upon hidden truths. On the other hand, his figurative works exude warmth and joy as he immortalizes the charm of our beloved four-legged companions, especially dogs and cats, whose soulful gazes reflect profound stories waiting to be told. Ted's art strives to emphasize the profound influence animals wield in our lives, nurturing virtues like empathy, kindness, and a stronger bond with the world we inhabit.
“I delve into the depths of my emotional landscape, translating elusive moods and feelings onto the canvas—a process that often unveils hidden truths upon reflection.”
