My name is Kiarra Lynn Smith and I am a 28 year old visual and literary artist from St. Louis, Missouri. I have been involved in the arts since childhood and began my career at the age of 14 years old. Since then, I have immersed myself artistically in book illustration, fine art and creative writing. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English and Visual Art and I am pursuing a Masters in Library and Information Science.
My art and writing are diverse though much of my work focuses on the similar subjects. I make pieces that reflect my interests in spirituality, the history of people of Afrikan descent, natural health, books I have read or whatever subject I am studying at the present moment. I do not limit myself when it comes to materials and tools. I have pieces in silk, batik, watercolor, pen, collage, oil, enamel, pencil, acrylic and more. My style ranges from realistic to cartoony.
My artistic messages contain messages of inspiration and historical reflection
I also enjoy focusing on my own environment.
In addition to creating individual pieces, I illustrate books. I currently have four books of my own. I am responsible for my own editing, illustrations, layout and publishing.
