This week, Luanne Smith & Bob Lockhart will discuss her new exhibit, Biophilia, now at Pyro Gallery. Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM / Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.
For Luanne Smith, painting is both a return and a renewal. After raising her family, she rediscovered her lifelong passion for art through watercolor. Her realistic depictions of wildlife, botanicals, and landscapes offer a close look at nature with attention to light and detail.
Primarily self-taught, Luanne continues to develop her skills through workshops and ongoing study with noted watercolor artist Cathy Hillegas. She has exhibited in numerous community shows and is also a juried member of the Louisville Artisans Guild. She is a member of Pyro Gallery, where she has just opened an exhibit of new watercolors called Biophilia, which runs through January 25, 2026
Luann Smith will be giving a Gallery Talk at Pyro on January 10 at 1 pm.
