About Art Access/VSA Utah
Smith says that he has long admired Jeff Pugh's ability and drive to succeed in painting, even before he married his youngest daughter Julia.
He goes on to say, "Over the last few years, we have spent many hours together discussing art and philosophy. When we decided to apply for a collaborative show at Art Access, we were both excited to show work that had a relationship but that also expressed our own points of view. We have similar feelings about the subjects that we paint, but each of us adds our own twists and insight. "
Jeff Pugh says that distinguishing his voice has been a challenge for him as he has approached his life as an artist. He explains, " It is clear that we are all influenced by those that we admire and I am no different. "
He agrees with his father-in-law regarding this exhibit, in that " it is refreshing and inspiring to see that in spite of the same source material, we come up with different perspectives of what and how we see. Our paintings reveal much more about whom we are, than perhaps we would like to admit. This show has given us a chance to expose those perspectives and our relationship."
