Smolen Studio Portfolio

I create my work by piecing together small sections of my drawings, paintings, wood scraps, and even artwork my daughters make while working with me in the studio. My art requires a lot of time and patience as I puzzle handmade pieces together, creating both non-objective and representational imagery. This method of creating art has also become a fun outlet in our studio for my three daughters to “make pieces for mommy” and they have an active role in the making of my art. My daughters make painted paper using several different methods, and we are constantly testing out new ideas. They take great joy in seeing their pieces interwoven in the artworks I make and I look forward to seeing how this process will evolve as my three girls grow older.
