I absolutely love stumbling across an artist that really catches your eye! The other day, while passing time on DeviantArt.com , I found the gallery of artist Audrey Smith.
Audrey Smith is a talented mixed media artist specializing in collage and sculpture. What caught my eye was a 2008 Collection "UTOPIA"

"I can't help but to tie the concept of utopia with dreamy optimism - the same kind that swept through the US after WWII, when everything was brighter, better, and more advanced. A little bit too shiny and gleeful if you ask me. But, out of that era came all manner of fantastic mid-century design that I love."
Her brilliant use of simple layering and pattern are wonderfully quirky and intriguing. A perfect blend of contemporary art and vintage nostalgia!
While studying at Towson University, where she received a B.A. in Fine Art, she began her studies as a sculpture major. When experimenting with ceramics she discovered that clay was the perfect medium for her.
"Although I was required to make functional pottery for classes, my heart remained set on sculpture, and I fit it into my studies whenever possible."
You can find a large sample of Audrey's work on Deviant Art at http://audreysmith.deviantart.com/gallery/
Or purchase an Audrey Smith original from her Etsy shop.
