Dutch born, Vera Smith grew up in the Netherlands and France. As drawing was her favorite means of expression, she had art lessons starting at a young age from Elly Kuipers in Holland and Germain Bonel in France. In the US, she took classes from Edward Povey and Jim McDonald.
She studied Russian in Europe. Her marriage brought her to the US, where she home schooled her children.
In the States, Vera thoroughly enjoys Art Museums, the National and State Parks and Native American arts and crafts. What she loves about San Antonio, TX are the diverse cultural communities, the missions and other historic buildings.
She paints in oils and watercolors mostly. Her favorite subjects are landscapes, animals, old houses and churches, Native American rock art and icons.
