Blind artist holds first solo exhibition that could also be her last show


By AGENCY

Libby Smith, who is legally blind, talks about her artwork, including this three-panel mural of lifeless tree trunks after a hurricane. It took her three years to paint it.

At Libby Smith’s Magical Beings at downtown Orlando’s CityArts Factory, there is a 12-foot triptych. The three paintings together comprise a 12-foot landscape of lifeless tree trunks after a hurricane.

“I saw these gorgeous dead trees,” said the artist. “And the art teacher I was with looked at me and said, ‘What are you doing? They’re dead.’”
