Jennifer Smith Collage2

        We are excited to announce our very first Artist Spotlight! This is an ongoing series of interviews with some very talented artists that we love. Since we are a fan of anything creative and artistic, and know of so many talented people that we admire, we thought it would be fun to feature these amazing artists and share their work with all of you. We hope you will enjoy discovering them and their work as much as we have.

        Our first interview features Jennifer Smith! Jennifer is a talented painter who creates colorful and happy paintings that draws the viewer in. Her work is filled with bright colors and inviting scenes. She sells her art under the business name Visual Lifesavers Art, a name that was formed when a friend mentioned how her paintings are in fact like visual lifesavers, and soothing to look at.
