Today's Friday Feature is Gina Smith of Thoughtful Art by Gina

Hello everyone!! My name is Gina Smith,

otherwise known as Thoughtful Art by Gina.

I live outside of Atlanta Georgia with my college age daughter Megan and my puppy Henry.

I am an art school drop out that has rediscovered my love for art. After attending the Art Institute of AtlantaI realized that I would have a difficult time making enough money to take careof my family, so I was thrown into the world of health insurance sales.

20 years later I have finally decided what I want to be when I grow up.

I am a Mixed Media Artist that creates in all kinds of mediums, Acrylics, Watercolors,Pastels, Markers, Leather and Metals.



I create canvas art as well as prints of most of my items. I also have begun creating Hand Tooled and Hand Painted Leather Cuffs.



My motto is to "Create Art that speaks to your Soul". I want my pieces to provide a spark and make you think for a bit.

My art is continuously evolving so I would love for you visit me from time to time to see my new creations.

I sell my art and take commission projects through Etsy at www.etsy.com/shop/thoughtfulart .

You can also visit me on my blog at www.thoughtfulartbygina.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/thoughtfulartbygina

I will be holding a give-a-way over on my blog beginning today. If you leave me a comment on my current blogpost anytime beginning today through Wed. July 4 your name will be put into arandom drawing to win this beautiful Leather Cuff. Drawing will be held and winner posted on Friday July 6.

So stop by and say hello, I would love to meet you. Wishing you a creative day!!
