Samantha Keely Smith

Moody, haunting, and ethereal; Those are the words that come to my mind when I look at Samantha Keely Smith's paintings. An England born, New York-based abstract painter, Smith captures the array of human emotions onto canvas with oil. The paintings touches upon the meshing of the human psyche and the outer world. One can almost hear the crashing of waves and feel the spray of the ocean through the feathery sweeping gestural lines. Smith's paintings pulsates with light and hope beneath the untamable force of nature.

Personally, I love abstract paintings. I enjoy the freedom abstract paintings provide for the artist and the viewer. Smith's beautiful paintings making one question things that frightens us and fascinates us all at once.
