Behind the Art Inspiration podcast: South African Artist Gerda Smith

In this episode, I’ll be virtually traveling from my Safety Harbor, Florida studio all the way to South Africa and into the studio of South African artist Gerda Smith. 

Gerda creates images on glass using liquid enamels and powdered glass, which are fired in a kiln.  Gerda says, “My art is mostly about nature. Beauty inspires me; magical mystical trees, the face of a horse, or an owl, or a person. The human figure in an idealized form, always with an element of beauty.  

Here’s where you can learn more about Gerda -

Thank you so much for watching and listening as I share my love of fun, connection, collaboration and ART. It would be great if you subscribe!

Being a facilitator of conversation, I pose an open-ended question to each artist in true Caroline style. “Send me a one-sentence blurb about you and what you do as an artist.” Then the conversation just flows from there.

And hey, I want to mention that I’m an artist too and it would make my heart sing if you were to go to my website and check out my artwork. I’ll leave a link to my website in the show notes..
