Adam Smith
Born 1984 in Medina, Minnesota; lives in Manhattan, Montana
BORN IN MEDINA, MINNESOTA, and raised in Bozeman, Montana, Smith has spent twenty-seven years surrounded by the incredible wonders of Western wildlife and has worked to master the art of its accurate rendering. Smith studies nature with the acute eyes of a scientist, yet gingerly re-creates it with the hands of a painter. He is no stranger to fine art, as he is the son of prominent wildlife artist and fellow Quest for the West artist Daniel Smith. Make no mistake, this young artist sets himself apart from the competition and has already garnered much success in the art world. An avid traveler and cross-country explorer, Smith finds inspiration from trips he and his father have taken to Africa, Alaska, Utah, and dozens of national parks in between.
