Dylan Garrett Smith

Visual Art – New York - Brooklyn

I am an artist/printmaker whose work is a product of my views regarding humanity’s relationships with - and the continually growing distance from - the natural world. Combining concepts of occultism, ecology, and memento mori, I stress the importance of the cycle of birth-bloom-decay and the necessity of solitude in nature. Ashes, chalk-lead and ink on black cotton rag paper serve as the media to make my images, while reinforcing the natural process of life, death, and rebirth. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute of Art in Brooklyn, NY and currently live and create in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania.
