My Story:

I am an artist that currently creates in Dallas, Texas.

Growing up in South Bend, Indiana I watched my Father build things from sling-shots and wooden puzzles to desks for myself and my siblings. My Father is a builder and businessman from La Ceiba, Honduras and his Father was an engineer from Jamaica.

Smith men love to create.

If I wasn't watching my father building things I was with my mother as she sewed, hand embroidered or painted different things that my father cut out.

As a visual learner I absorbed my parents crafts and was able to express myself at a young age by building legos, sketching and painting.

After attending the University of Notre Dame on an athletic scholarship and graduating with a degree in business in 2014 I pursued my passion for creating.

Since then my work has been highlighted by publications like The Source and Vibe Magazine and companies like ESPN, Creative Recreation and Broadstreet Publishing.

My work was featured in "Life Is Beautiful" an art and music festival that hosted work from visual artist Banksy and recording artists Kendrick Lamar and Stevie Wonder.

Some of my artwork currently hangs in New York on the walls of executive headquarters like Body Armor and Roc Nation Sports.

I am extremely grateful for all of these opportunities. My goal is to create a legacy that I can one day pass down to my children's children. I will reach for this goal one creation at a time.
