Spring Sanctuary
Erica Dawn Smith
Acrylic on canvas
11”h x 14”w
A field of native wildflowers provides a refuge for anyone needing a peaceful escape from city life. This and all of these paintings are based on photos I have taken at our property in the hill country. They are real life moments in time that felt like heaven on earth to me. I truly believe that in nature, our connection with the divine deepens and I hope to convey that with my work.
Get to Know the Austin Artist:
Erica Dawn Smith has spent most of her career working in the entertainment industry as a professional scenic artist. She grew up in a small town in southern Indiana, earned a bachelor's degree in set design from Indiana University, then completed a scenic painting internship at Yale School of Drama. She then went on to paint and design professionally, doing short stints in Massachusetts and California, then spending eight years in Nashville before eventually moving to Texas in 2013.
After giving birth to her daughter in 2017, Erica left the hectic pace of the film and television industry in Austin to settle into an inspired, peaceful life on the family ranch in Blanco. In her garden studio, surrounded by native plants and animals, she paints softly detailed works in acrylic that honor the awe-inspiring moments that occur when we slow down and observe the natural world around us.
