Ford Smith

 

Ford's sense of nature is not a Romantic's wild and angry universe. Rather, he recalls the startling color combinations and mesmerizing horizons, then blends those images with his own passion and optimistic philosophy of life. The easy precision, subtlety and repose of his paintings may well derive from that Asian aesthetic he developed in his early years.

"Like life, my work often transforms from its original idea," he muses, "But following a creative instinct wherever it leads is where the fun and fascination lie. Each painting is a unique journey with an undefined destination."

Ford resides in Roswell, GA with his wife and business partner, Cristi and daughter, Hilary just graduated high school and is attending Kennesaw State University to study drama and film-making. Their son Brian lives in Atlanta and is a recent graduate from Kenessaw University with a Bachelors in Political Science. Their dogs (Pasta and Belle), and cats (Alfredo and Jack) are also important family members.
