At three years old, I made my first first oil painting. Being the daughter of the known, California artist, Norman Merton Smith, I always believed my talents came from him.
In my studies at Louisiana State University, I came to respect and admire the paintings of one of my illustrious professors, the late, Michael Crespo.
My work, and I have, been featured on local television programs, in local magazines, and in local restaurants, as one

Every summer I teach art or photography to teens. Their energy is life giving.  Although I teach them art, I believe my life is enriched by experiencing the creative process, from their fresh perspective.
I have donated many, many of my paintings to charitable organizations. Among them are the Louisiana Art and Science Museum, Hot Springs Museum of Contemporary Art, Cancer Research, Juvenile Diabetes Research, developing countries ministries and Aids Research to name a few.  

I include interpretive painting to music and poetry in my repertoire. Working live in an international worship service, in front of 7,000 people, as well as a world wide, internet live stream, I produced a 4'x6',  six minute sketch of my original work, "Open Up The Sky".  The original sold for $15,000.00 with all of the money going to developing countries ministries.
I now understand my talents and gifts come not from my biological father, but my heavenly One.
I live in South Louisiana with my husband, son, poodle, and parakeet.
We really do have alligators in our back yards.
