Welcome to my blog!

Hi everyone! My name is Kelly Smith, I'm a young artist studying Visual Arts- Illustration at Brigham Young University. Just a little bit about myself: I was born in Peru and moved to the United States when I was young. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I recently got married to a wonderful man who supports me in every step I take. I also have an awesome family which I love to death. I enjoy life... it's always an adventure! As a child I always liked drawing, painting, and anything related to art. I never really thought about studying art as a career till I got to college. I realized how much I love it! I have so much passion for it and I just LOVE learning anything new that can help me improve my talent. I like to look at other people's art because I find myself learning from other artists’ art pieces. Here at Brigham Young University (BYU) I have been able to take many different classes during the past 4 years, such as science, english, religion, history and other GE's. I have also been able to take some other sort of art classes that are not just Illustration. I know a little bit about Studio and Photography as well. 

I have created this blog to show my progress as an artist. I want to post my process on how I create my pieces. These pieces are going to be assignments from my Illustration classes as well as my personal stuff. Sometimes I tend to hide my art from others because I know it’s not perfect or is not exactly how I pictured it in my head. I want to be able to be more open and feel more comfortable showing my art. I’m going to try to post as much as I can—not only my “good portfolio pieces” but also my lame stuff. Feel free to make comments about things I can improve or feel inspire to make art yourself. Hope you enjoy my blog!
