Mack Smart
Cohort 1
It's A Me, Mack
I'm an art major hoping to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture. At this fine moment, my interests are sculpture, arranging color swatches in a decorative way, and finding references within the strangest things. After graduating, I hope to find myself in a tattoo apprenticeship. The art I create takes inspiration from Georgia O'Keeffe, Fauvism, and the Pre Raphelite Brotherhood. I enjoy using the unusual color palettes and cropping any reference I have in order to create what I enjoy.
