Smith, Mary Elizabeth

I’ve been an artist/designer for over 30 years. Living in Gig Harbor almost all my life has given me the opportunity to share my creativity with many local charities. Donating fun items and artwork to help raise money for worthy causes gives me great pleasure. 

Currently, as a graphic designer with 15 years’ experience, I am happily helping local businesses build their customer base by creating logos, signage, printed advertising pieces, web graphics and managing their social media. 

A fine artist at heart, I work in my home studio and sell my originals and prints at Sea Hags in the Finholm District of Gig Harbor, WA, and also online at marysmithart.com

Rockin' Out

Music lifts the soul and what better way to enjoy your favorite tunes, rock a child or enjoy watching the Grammy Awards than to sit in this unique version of a baby grand piano. 

 

I had a vision of creating a piano chair as my first donation to this worthy cause and went searching for just the right chair to no avail. As a last resort, I stopped by the NW Furniture Bank warehouse to see what they had for artists to choose from. When I laid eyes on the rocker, it was exactly what I was looking for and I could almost hear it screaming, “Pick me, pick me!”

Dogs Rule, Cats Drool

Dogs may rule the world but they can also make quite a mess around the house. Cats will surely drool over this artistic storage box meant for all things dog: food, leashes, balls, toys, clothing and treats. Show your dog how much you love them by “fetching” this box for their very own!

Caring Chair

   This chair was inspired by my recent experience caring for my daughter, Dori, and her fight against a rare form of lymphoma. We moved to Seattle for several months this winter while she underwent a stem cell transplant. The words and love emanating from the chair will hopefully encourage other cancer fighters or their caregivers to use these words that can help in the healing process.
