Rockwell Smith was born October 21,1955. Paint what you know and know what you paint, are the words of the counsel Rocky has received during his entire artistic career. Rockwell has lived all his life in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho, Utah and Montana and his intense interest in the western world around him comes to life in his detailed canvasses. Even at a relatively young age for an artist, Rockwell Smith has evidenced an impressive long-term commitment to his craft and is surely on his way to making an impact among his contemporaries.
