as a fine art major, Smith realized that the contemporary art curriculum would not equip him with the background needed to pursue the area that interested him most-commercial illustration.

It was at that time that he enrolled in the Famous Artist School that stressed painting and drawing of the human figure and designing pictures that tell stories. Unhappy with the direction of his college experience, Smith left school and began a career on his own as a commercial illustrator. Realizing that the majority of work in this field originated out of New York City, he acquired an artist representative and began working for a wide variety of corporate and editioral clients. After a few years, he decided to try his hand at "easel" painting for the fine art market. As subjects for his paintings he chooses familiar landscapes and acquaintances he has made over years of hunting and fishing across the country.
