Statement
Catlyn Smith is an artist based in Charlotte, NC who explores the relationship of humans, existential questions, and the elements of our surrounding environment. While she has a concentration in painting, she focuses on experimentation in various mediums to connect these questions to an abstracted physical form to express what it needs to communicate to us. An artist becomes a Socrates figure, the midwife of connecting these conceptualized thoughts to the viewers eye. Therefore, being open to various mediums allows for a greater understanding of these questions, and acknowledges the many differences that are present.
