Peter Smith is a Baltimore-based artist exploring the depths of color relationships and the unexpected moments discovered while capturing the human figure.

He entwines musicality within his own gesture, often depicting the musicians who boldly challenged academic instrumentation to establish a new American avant-garde: Jazz. Smith studied with the prominent contemporary painter Mary Beth McKenzie at the Art Students League of New York, as well as various master artists in Baltimore. His work is in numerous private collections in Baltimore, MD.
