Tannie Smith is a multi-media artist specializing in her Inkflow style, which blends intricate and intuitive ink patterns against a minimalistic composition. Her work often explores the quiet connection between spirituality and the human experience, with a focus on women and their relationship to faith. Through contrasts of black and white, strength and vulnerability, simplicity and depth, Tannie’s art invites reflection on inner strength and resilience, offering a space for spiritual contemplation without overt religious imagery.
“I'm obsessed with finding beauty in contrasts. I love the challenge of pushing for balance in both the minimal and the complex.”
Tannie recently relocated to Helena, Montana from Austin, Texas. She holds a BFA in Communication Design from Texas State University and has over 20 years of experience in design and illustration. In Helena, she continues to explore the beauty of contrasts in her art while enjoying hiking, Korean dramas, and delicious snacks.
