About the Artist

Leah Smith

United States

Born in Concord, MA on May 11, 1981

hobbies: spending time with my son, fishkeeping, hiking with my dogs, kayaking, music composition, singing, playing guitar, riding motorcycles, riding dirtbikes, playing ice hockey, camping, painting, writing poetry, swimming

I am a practical, sensible person. I am simple, but in a complicated way. I overthink all the time. I end up in the same place I started every morning, yet always believing I am making some progress.

But isn't that life? Most of what we do ends up being meaningless in the end. That is why it is so important to create, and to make things that endure the test of time, to ensure our lasting legacy. Otherwise, we are all just dust in the wind, and scattered memories in the minds of just a few.

Art in the same spirit
