Amy Smith Art

As a self-taught artist, I love exploring new ways of creating. I started making art professionally with my first solo show in 2014 in Los Angeles. I have always used mixed media materials including recycled magazines in my work to have a focus on sustainability and reuse. Working in digital and physical collage, I've had my featured in museums, galleries, and international collections. My designs have won awards like the La County Library Card design and grants from Burbank and North Hollywood. As a teaching artist I started creating collage and stencil classes in partnership with galleries in Los Angeles right before the Pandemic. I didn't start my next class until 2024 where I started offering collage and sip workshops partnering with a local wine shop. I saw adults having fun together and genuinely enjoying themselves. I thought if I could add that to my practice it would be great to create an opportunity where people get together, create, and be joyful for an evening.
