About The Artist, Nailah Smith

Always taken back by the beauty of her surroundings, Nailah has been drawing since she was 4 years old. As she got older, the interest in creating artwork only continued to grow. When she was 14, she applied to Cypress Lake High School Center for the Arts in Florida, got accepted and majored in visual arts. She then went on to move to Atlanta to receive her bachelor’s degree from Savannah College of Art and Design. In total, she studied art for 10 years.

For a few years after that, Nailah created artwork for herself and others when asked. Eventually she realized, she didn’t want to do anything else and decided to pursue it full time. She mainly works with acrylics, channeling the vibrancy of often overlooked moments in everyday life and nature. Her intention is to create beautiful pieces that speak to each person differently. Her work is her absolute passion; she creates every single day. She’s able to truly speak to people through her pieces. Her work tends to bring up feelings of joy, creativity, inspiration and excitement. In addition to canvas work, she also paints murals that remind people to be kind and she would like to create 3D pieces once she acquires space for it.

Nailah’s work has been showcased on CBS, 11Alive, WSBTV, Voyage ATL and Atlanta Street Art. She’s known to see the warmness in everything around her and share it with everyone through her artwork.

Her work is meant to bring light into your space and she feels honored in doing so.
