Body Image Call for Artists Accepted Entries Artist Christie Smith Redwood City, California, USA Reflection Acrylic Painting Artist Statement Statement My inspiration for “Reflection” is a representation of where I was at this time in my life.  I had just made a major career shift from 23 years as a LPGA Golf Professional to being a full time artist.  This painting captures my deep thoughts of letting go and being fearless as I had been as a golf professional.  I was reflecting about my life, where I was and where I wanted to be.  I took a deep breath, felt my body relax and surrenderedRead More →
