About The Artist

Terence L. Smith

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California during the turbulent 60’s and 70’s civil rights movement, Terence L. Smith, a self taught artist who has been drawing and painting since he was a young child, began drawing as a means of escapism. This use of art as an escape later turned into a means of relieving stress as he built a successful career in aviation as an electrical engineer, culminating as an executive with The Boeing Co. Until recently only his immediate family knew what a prolific portfolio of drawings and paintings he had accumulated over the years. As a self-taught artist he has accomplished all that he knows with the help of God and through a powerful passion and desire to draw and to paint. He draws and/or paints daily, and is always reading about art, studying works of others and experimenting and practicing different techniques.
