Dennis Smith: Pottery and Painting (Location 1)

   My Professional career spanning 35 years dealt with issues defining the worst and best of history, human nature, and what ugly things man can do to men and women, issues dealing with Isolation, Captivity and Surviving Hostile Environments. It was an interesting, wonderful way to make a living. It was also an awesome reality check to the real world. 

  This career path enabled me to develop my artistic skills in a very broad way by working in all types of visual media. Since retirement from this career I have devoted time and energies into my personal art. I look forward to studying and making more contemporary art. 

  I work in a variety of mediums: Oil, Watercolor, Acrylic, Pencil/ Chalk and Pottery and enjoy experimenting with each. Most recent works are more sculptural combining ceramics, metal, wood and newspaper. 

  I have exhibited at the Spokane MAC, Gonzaga Jundt Gallery, Terrain, Chase Gallery, Kolva/Sullivan, Trackside galleries in Spokane and the Clymer Gallery in Ellensberg Washington. 

  I am a member of the Washington Clay Arts Association.
