Hey There!

My name is Michelle Smith and I am an artist and illustrator based out of Southern California. I have been honing my skills since my time as a Studio Art Major at ORU beginning in 2007.

I have been married for over 12 years, have 3 amazing kids and two fur babies. On an average day you can find me splitting my time between homeschooling my kids and creating art.

In the years I have been working as an artist, I have had the opportunity to sell collections in wineries, local businesses and art festivals. I’ve shipped art all over the world. I was showcased in the Las Laguna Art Gallery’s “The Sky’s the Limit 2021” show. My favorite pieces, however, are always the unique projects I have been commissioned to do throughout the years. I worked as an artist for Yay Maker for 3 years. If you would like to learn how to create one of my paintings, you can find over 300 of them in their painting library!


I never shy away from a project, which has lead me to be pretty well-rounded in my artistic abilities. Whether you need traditional paintings or digital illustrations, I am your girl. My favorite mediums are oils and watercolor, but in recent years have fell in love with the digital side of art. It adds so much to what I am able to create.
