Smith, Mike

Involved with art for most of his life, born in South Africa and raised in Zimbabwe, Mike arrived in Canada in the late 80’s.

He began studying architecture, but switched to art and kept the wolf from the door as an international award-winning art director/creative director in Toronto, until moving into the country to paint full-time. He  is now based  on the South Shore, in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.

His work can be found in private collections and galleries in Europe, Canada and the US.
