LYNDA SMITH IS AN ARTIST IN TAOS, NEW MEXICO 

 THE JOY OF CREATING ART IS IN THE JOURNEY.

When I was an graduate art student at NYU my professor, Sherman Drexler, once said, "As artists we strive to contribute to the world’s collective sanity." That view becomes more relevant to me each year, and remains my purpose in creating art.

I approach my work with respect for materials and tools. Isearch for harmony, rhythm, and flow of energy in each project, and seek to share the sense of peace and beauty that I experience while creating it.  I hover over and woo the stone, clay or paint. It might be a wrestling match, but we become part of each other.

The earth gives us these materials, and through them I strive to give back new forms that may inspire those who view my work to make their own contributions toward saving the beauty of our world.
