The works on exhibit will be predominantly abstract and involve Mixed-media. The works will demonstrate inquiries and experimentation with materials and colors. I will be exhibiting works never shown before in a public space which are all pieces I have painted in the last three years.

Brandon Smith, will be exhibiting a variety of free-standing sculptures using a variety of materials. A Sculptor from Southern Illinois, he is a Coal Miner as well as Sculptor and uses metal and wood in most of his designs. He says his inspiration comes from believing just the proces of creating something unique is what drives him the most.

I will be exhibiting a large abstract variety of mixed-media collages exploring states of mind and feelings responding to the ever-changing world around us.
I am re-activating my Patreon Page. I will be seeking funding to transport 5 large paintings and 30 smaller paintings. I am additionally planning to print 5-10 of my mixed-media digital pieces for the exhibition as well. You are invited to see more about the pieces I hope to exhibit on my Patreon Page HERE .
