His art is meant to stir up unused or even unwanted feelings, arouse curiosity, and invigorate the viewer. Encompassing all sides of life's colorful spectrum, he often utilizes vibrant colors and playful imagery juxtaposed with dark, unsettling content. This dichotomy is not meant to frighten or confuse the audience; instead it should lessen the discomfort associated with the unfamiliar.

Currently, Smith works as a freelance photographer, web designer, musician, and video specialist.

Education:
After receiving his undergraduate degree in Graphic Design from Towson University, he attended the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) to earn an MFA in Photographic & Electronic Media, an MA in Digital Art, a teaching certificate, and was awarded the Murthy Digital Arts Grant.

During his time at MICA, from 2007–2009, he taught a number of graduate level workshops on web design and different types of computer software. For four semesters, he assisted in teaching the course Electronic Media & Culture. And, in 2008 he was the assistant to the Director of Graduate Photography.

Smith is currently an adjunct professor. He teaches Foundations and Digital Art +Design related courses at Towson University, and Interactive Media classes at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

Music:
Since 2004, Smith has been working on his music project, Thoth, and has preformed with a number of musicians from around the country. These sound recordings and performances are mostly instrumental and improvisational. Like his visual art, his music uses contrasting tones, blending ambient, tranquil sounds with dissonant, primal rhythms.
