Star Smart is an award-winning abstract artist, activist, writer, political and artistic spokesperson, and most recently a creative voice for the cancer experience.
She received her degree in Fine Art and continues to study related to her field at universities such as MIT, Harvard, and Duke Universities. Star states, “If I want to create new art practices, new art, I must always be learning.”
Smart has just relocated from Miami, Florida to Cincinnati, Ohio. She is eager is to begin work in her beautiful, studio space in an historic building that’s over 100 years old. She took her move seriously. After her battle with a rare cancer and a personal crisis she wanted to slow down. Star wanted to see things she hadn’t seen in years; hills, historic architecture, and materials not used in South Florida like stone and brick. “It may sound strange to some but being so tactile I missed those textures.” Star smiles. She further comments, “I am inspired to work anywhere I feel fuel to create. However, gazing on the space that will be my studio where I can create pieces in a larger scale excites me. The best is yet to come.”
