Kitty Smothers
Hello! I'm Kitty Smothers and I have been painting portraits and fine art professionally for over 26 years. I live in South Alabama with my husband, two daughters and two dachshunds.
I earned a B.A. in Studio Art from Troy University, and later a Masters of Science in Counseling and Psychology. I apprenticed under world-renowned artist Nall Hollis, constructing frames for his intricate paintings and learning drawing and painting techniques. I founded the Pike County Art Guild where local artists collaborate, learn and support one another. I believe the art community should be a place where all artists feel encouraged and cheered on. My artwork started as personal portrait paintings until people began asking me to paint portraits, places and pets for them. I also love painting scenes from around the countryside and gardens. I have a crazy passion for painting and my favorite thing of all is handing over a piece of artwork to a happy client. |
