Melon / Kiss

Tamsin Spencer Smith divides her time between San Francisco and Sonoma County and asserts that both locations contend for prominence in their work. Crowded scenes featuring objects, characters, and urban architectural oddities occasionally command attention, while at other times, the energy of wild landscapes takes center stage on the canvas. The melody line in her artwork is always color, accompanied by a particular quirkiness of perspective intended to engage the viewer's eye and evoke a deeper sense of curiosity. The artist aims for their paintings to convey the sense of journeys of discovery, understanding that, like any compelling story, the most memorable and engaging paths are rarely straight.
