Biography: Mike Smith


Born in South Africa and raised in Zimbabwe, I arrived in Canada in the late 80’s.

I’ve painted or been involved with art for most of my life - I kept the wolf from the door as an art director and creative director for several major South African and Toronto advertising agencies, until deciding to move
out into the country, north of Kingston, to paint full-time in 2003.


Since then, I've shown my work with success at various juried venues, including The Art Gallery of Northumberland, the Fine Art Festivals in both Merrickville and Westport, and the Cobourg Waterfront Fine Art Festival.

In addition, I currently exhibit at, and am represented by, several Ontario Galleries.

I can now be found in my studio in downtown historic Cobourg.
