Smegy’s unique background and upbringing constantly exposed her to different people and situations. This often made her feel like an outsider throughout life, making her take comfort in the unconventional. Smegy runs towards the unknown and takes direct inspiration from everything hard to understand. There is so much room for creativity to flourish in what is considered strange by society's standards. From clown expressions, deep sea critters, to punk rock styles, there is much to be explored artistically within and beyond the subjects she finds herself painting. To be fulfilled, you must be open to understanding others, and Smegy aims to share her unconventional passions and history by doing just that.
