Roy Crawford Smith brings a variety of ideas and techniques to the creative process. Majoring in fine arts in high school and college, Roy worked with media such as oils and acrylics to develop his expression during the social and spiritual revolutions of the 60's and 70's. Furthering his education in science and technology in the 80's, he joined the computer revolution and worked as an aerospace engineer until 2012.

Roy started working with Rassouli in 2006 to develop his own distinctive style. His brushwork combines dry brush, wet in wet, impasto, glazes, etc. His paintings reflect a synergism of ideas from science, depth psychology, and mystical thought. Features of his art include the use of forms, colors and rhythmnic modalities that reflect inner landscapes of the spirit. Roy's work often evokes the spiritual world bridging into the material world, dream into reality, the finite into the infinite.
