Dash Of Artistry

Lianne Smith is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in hyper-surrealism, working primarily with acrylic paint, spray paint, graphite, and woodwork. Her work explores identity, emotion, and human connection through vivid storytelling and layered symbolism. Art has been a constant in Lianne’s life since childhood, but her path as an artist truly solidified when she recognized the power of art as a bridge—a way to connect deeply with others. Her style blends realism with dreamlike elements, often incorporating historical references, personal narratives, and symbolic imagery to create pieces that feel both intimate and universal. Lianne draws inspiration from memories, nature, music, mental health, and human relationships, allowing each piece to evolve organically from emotion rather than a fixed image. Her project Therapy Session was a deeply personal series that felt like putting a diary on the gallery walls, inviting viewers to step into her emotional landscape and, hopefully, see themselves reflected in some way. Creativity, for Lianne, is both a release and a conversation. She strives to make work that lingers—whether through murals that transform spaces or portraits that capture fleeting moments. Her goal is to evoke emotion, spark dialogue, and leave a lasting imprint, ensuring that those who engage with her art feel seen, understood, or inspired. Operating under the moniker Dash of Artistry, Lianne is available for murals, commissions, and exhibitions.
