About the Artist:
Dylan Smith is a Southern California based visual artist focused on illustration and mixed media works. Dylan’s vibrant, colorful and inspiring pieces have garnered significant recognition in the Coachella Valley, landing him a spot to create a work of art on one of the benches on Palm Canyon in downtown Palm Springs. Prior to landing in the desert, Smith had two solo exhibitions at Studio 35 and Starling Bar in Sonoma, California as well as a group show at Rancho Maria Winery. Dylan was honored to be part of the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall exhibit at Art Queen in Joshua Tree and is set to have a solo exhibit and performance there as well once things are “normal again”.
Dylan’s Process:
Hair Pop Out Mania began as any childhood passion does, out of imagination and creativity. As a young boy, Dylan Smith illustrated countless images of women finding influence through main stream pop culture, his sister’s yearbooks, as well as the strong, female figures in his own life. Drawing parlayed into dance and theatre where Smith continues to thrive as a professional dancer, choreographer and teaching artist.
