1. Laura Smith
Most of us have favorite artists we admire for one reason or another. They inspire us or influence our work in some way, whether they are well known or otherwise.
Laura Smith is one of my favorite artists. She is truly inspiring me in the way she approaches design and illustration. The work feels simple, honest and sophisticated all at once. She makes it all look so easy. Like Picasso, Laurie has managed to beautifully convey a thought with a few squiggles of a pen or with a blob of color from a brush. She`s invented a way to teach others to free themselves from traditional conventions and methods of approaching art and design, in part by working backwards and relying more on intuition. For Laurie, the answers occasionally lie in the mistakes she makes. For me, these "mistakes" are no accident—they belie the real beauty in magnificent imperfection.

Figure 5. Kiki Smith’s work
I first came across the work of Kiki Smith in the early `90s. , and telling personal stories through one’s art caught my attention when much of what I was being taught were ideas about minimalism and abstract expressionism.
Her delicate sculptures, drawings, and etchings, with an emphasis on the handmade, struck a chord with me at a time when I was trying to find a direction in my own work. I continued to follow her work throughout the years as it expanded into full blown gallery and museum installations. I enjoy how she has continued to change and grow, always going in different directions and continuing to experiment.
Choosing a favorite living artist is very difficult because I like looking at such a wide variety of work. I chose Kiki Smith because her work ethic continues to inspire.
