“The Inner Workings of Anthony Smyers”
For Anthony, art has always been a way to process the world—from doodling childhood comic books to mastering ceramics, painting and digital art. Raised by an artistic parent and formally trained at CSU Long Beach, he blends a deep appreciation for Art History with a hands-on passion for creation. When he’s not in the studio, Anthony is dedicated to empowering fellow creators through his work with the Arts Council for Long Beach.
Anthony’s artwork is ever changing, but continuously aims to take a glimpse at people’s inner thoughts, dreams and demons.
