About the Artist : New Mexico artist Linda Kyser Smith has been devoted to her painting career since 1987 when she began painting still lifes. She soon discovered, however, that her true love was painting people. Her intriguing studies of women in various poses from playful to pensive are highly sought after and she has developed a strong following at Brazier Fine Art for them. She says she is particularly drawn to portraying women because "they can be so glamorous, so dramatic, so poetic, and exotic. That quality, that inner beauty really attracts me." She also enjoys painting children. "They're so unbelievably lovely---to try and capture that is such a challenge." Smith has studied with some the country's most prestigious portrait artists, including Everett Raymond Kinstler, Burt Silverman, Aaron Shikler, and Harley Brown. She continues to study with Bettina Steinke, Ned Jacobs, Milt Kobayashi, and Raymond Froman.
