Over the course of 100 years, you could watch the world change, literally. Illinois Artist Laureate Kay Smith has been documenting those changes for the last 75 years, and her work is all rooted in her love of American history.
“I didn’t have a favorite location,” Smith said. “I paint where I need to paint and do what I need to get done.”
“I’m 100 years old now,” Smith said. “I’m thankful that I can do something. I did quite a lot of artwork.” “You don’t have to be fast,” Smith said. “I have a regular schedule. I have an hour in the morning that I can paint, my ‘relaxing hour,’ then the next hour it’s down again to rest. When you become this age, people become concerned about what you’re doing. So I try to keep them happy, and I can’t do it with anything but watercolor.”
