Artist Spotlight

Meet Christen Smith, Smithereenes Mad Lib Style!

Drumroll please...

Hi, I’m Christen. 

I’m a(n) experimental animation artist who’s inspired by the presence of ultimate reality just beyond our reach!

My art is all about finding the light at the end of the tunnel and usually features bouncy boxes, swirly colors, and dancy figures.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Disney princess (and also an artist, musician, and dentist).

To recharge, my favorite thing to do is take a ride on the NYC ferry.

If your art style were a pastry...

If my art style were a cheese danish, it would be made with markers, computers, and a dash of mysticism.

Mixed with frame-by-frame animation and drizzled with girl sass, it’s best paired with chocolate milk!

To get in the zone...

To get in the zone, I love to do some journaling in my home studio aka "the Sun Cave" while feeling the breezy cacophony of NYC street traffic come through my open window.
