Robert E. Smith is a nationally known folk and "outsider" artist.  His paintings have been featured at New York City's prestigious Museum of American Folk Art and sold at distinguished galleries coast-to-coast.  he has also been featured in The Museum of American Folk Art Encyclopedia of Twentieth Century American Folk Art.  His unique visions, brimming with color, humor and incident, represent a triumph of the imagination over a strenuous and difficult life.

Mr. Smith's works, including his self-published books, are unique creations, consisting of stories, poems, memoirs and artwork.  His paintings are representational and anecdotal, rich assemblages, crowded with incident and detail drawn from incidents in the artist's life, American history and pop culture, as refracted through Mr. Smith's rich storehouse of dreams, visions, and illuminations.
