Hello!
Josie Smoot is a freelance illustrator and painter who lives in Tennessee. Her work shows her love of fantasy and character design by implementing various inspirations from mythology, fairytales, history, and her own creations. She paints the figure realistically with an illustrative twist, such as enlarging the eyes or drawing in a more graphic style. Her illustrations contain diverse and ethereal characters who tell their story through the use of strong design and color. She explores stories of feminine strength and beauty by adding supernatural elements and symbolism. She uses watercolors, gouache, and ink to express her imagination and bring her characters to life.
