A Conversation With Leah Smithson

In Episode 73 of Art Talk, I have a conversation with Leah Smithson. Leah Smithson is a Los Angeles-based artist using both traditional (paint, ceramic sculptures) and new media ( i.e. digital installations, virtual, augmented, and extended realities) to explore the human condition using portraits that mirror an emotional state or frame of mind, rather than the likeness of a person. She’s been interviewed and had her work featured in a variety of print and digital magazines including the LA Times. She’s also exhibited throughout the US and abroad including the award-winning outdoor digital art exhibition Luminex, as well as collaborated with brands and tech giants, such as Apple, in public art installations.
