Cynthia Carmichael Smith

I create intimate wildlife portraits capturing the quiet presence, strength, and character of animals such as bison, elk, wolves, and bears. My Northern Wild: Portraits of Strength and Survival series simplifies natural settings—snow, fields, or soft landscapes—to focus on each animal’s expression and presence. Through original paintings and fine art prints, I invite viewers to share a quiet moment with these remarkable creatures in their wild home.
