Eric Drummond Smith – Panoramic Gallery

“First I turn on the music… I make marks on paper or wood or canvas, the music driving my hand like an old steam engine.” — Eric Drummond Smith, artist statement

Eric Drummond Smith draws from a deep well in his art-making– a well overflowing with music, history, philosophy, emotions, religion, and memory. His work is an almost stream-of-consciousness effort, moving from swaths of color to lines of ink and, eventually, a finished piece that brings some order to the chaos.
