Zebra Dreaming of the Blue Mountain

Mike Smith (American artist, b. 1942) Several of Mike Smith’s equally successful works depict more exotic fauna: giraffes, an elephant, a lion, zebra… drawing from Smith’s profound artistic experience and spiritual delight in the forms of nature. Mike Smith finds inspiration for his subjects and colors in the gardens and rural settings of his home and studio in the Pacific Northwest. His subject matter features objects of his life, family, and the neighbors and town that he lives in.
