Amy Smith

Head in the Clouds - Framed Contemporary POP Print Art Portrait of a Black Woman

2020

Amy Smith is a self-educated contemporary artist. Born in New Jersey, she moved to Los Angeles where she found inspiration, mentors, and support in the street art community.

In her “Collage Portrait Series,” Smith uses photography, and layers of hand cut stencils, and torn recycled fashion magazine pieces to simultaneously represent her love of fashion and her contempt for excessive consumerism. In addition, she showcases female portraits to empower and unify, creating a space to feel connected to oneself and to each other.

Smith’s mixed media collages have been shown at Wallspace, Saatchi’s The Other Art Fair, LA Art Fair to name a few and been part of auctions such as revered Julien’s Auctions with artists like Mr. Brainwash, Shepard Fairey, and Andy Warhol. Smith’s works can also be found on online galleries 1stDibs, Saatchi and Artsy.

Smith’s work has been featured in several private collections, residences, businesses, television shows and films. She is currently exploring a new series of collage with neon elements and a series of stencils on natural wood.
