About the Artist
Postage stamps offer unique windows into the cultures of the countries that created them. Who or what did they choose to honor? What artistic style was used? Darren Smith was perusing his father's collection of stamps and thought they would be better appreciated as art, rather than languishing in a dusty album. His passions for travel, world cultures, and art merge in his handmade stamp collages. He individually glues the stamps on illustration board. Each handmade collage is an original, including stamps from the early 1800s to 2000s that have been on journeys around the world on correspondence of matters great and small.
Smith also makes handmade collages from his photographs. He has exhibited his work throughout the Washington, DC region, in New York City, and Paris. To learn more, please visit www.darrensmithart.com.
