Ella Smyth (2001) is a multi-media artist and painter from Prattville, AL.
Her work has been exhibited at Sella-Granata Art Gallery for her BFA Thesis Show and The University of Alabama Scholarship Show, Gorgas Library Student Artwork Exhibition, at Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center for The West Alabama Juried Art Show, and the Bellwhethers 2021 Show. During her time at the University of Alabama, she was awarded many art-based scholarships from the department and worked as the Lead Student Worker for the Sella-Granata Art Gallery.

Her artwork is an exploration of the interplay between dualities in contemporary painting, specifically the organic and the geometric. She uses materials to create a visual dialogue that bridges the gap between the natural and machine-made. Overall, her artwork invites the viewer to engage in a conversation about the dualities that exist within us and the world and to consider the possibilities that arise when seemingly opposing forces come together in unexpected ways. Through the interplay of forms, materials, and techniques, she seeks to create a visual narrative that reflects the complexities and paradoxes of our world.
