Torrie Smiley, Original Works of Art
I am originally from West Texas, now residing and painting in the foothills of North Carolina. I am primarily a self taught artist who paints using oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastel.
I have become known for my different renditions of pears, ranging from realism to colorful impressionism. I have won awards both locally and in EBSQ art shows. My Martini Series has become a fan favorite.
My paintings are now in private collections throughout the United States, Europe, and Canada.
