Floating House Series: Bird Roof
Smilow’s work is rich with symbolism, and also feels warm and welcoming, with a child-like joy imbued in her paintings.
Working intuitively, she layers textures, mediums, and collage elements to create pieces that feel both visionary and familiar.
Her art is inviting, uplifting, and designed to bring beauty and joy to the spaces it inhabits.
Happy Spring Series: Yellow Palm Tree
Raised in the only fully realized Frank Lloyd Wright community outside New York City, and the daughter of a celebrated mid-century modern furniture designer, Smilow grew up immersed in design.
