Herb Smith ( American, b. 1981 )
Born in Staten Island, New York, Herb Smith has studied painting by reading books, visiting museums, and by trial and error. He has exhibited work in the U.S. and in Europe. Herb’s artwork has been reproduced in publications such as Art News, Untitled II and III, and The Thousands.
In the artist’s words: “Since the beginning, I was interested in painting wildlife, especially birds. The structural differences between species along with all of the colors and other traits of an animal have maintained an endless interest. The technique of building layers extending depth in a painting is what first attracted me to oil paint and retains my interest still.”
Mr. Smith currently lives and works in Staten Island both painting and birding.
