art for contemporary mindfulness by walter w smith III
Walter Smith was born in Philadelphia, PA . He attended both Lincoln University and Philadelphia College of Art and pursued both Liberal and Fine Arts. After several years of study he joined the Philadelphia Artists Cooperative in 1987. PAC as it was known, later became the Highwire Gallery Inc. and was one of the first emerging artists cooperatives in downtown Philadelphia. His seven years as a participating member was an important contribution to his growth and success as an artist. Walter then pursued his own solo art career. His work has been shown in various exhibitions and multi-media events in Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, Holland and in South Carolina. Walter now makes his home in South Carolina where he continues to enjoy the creating and sharing of his art and poetry through various social media.
