Dreaming of birds, models and illustrators too...

These fantastic drawings are all by fashion illustrator Kelly Smith who is featured in this month's Australian Vogue. Smith who is only 23, was raised in Hobart and now lives in a beach house at Orford, to which she finds inspiration. The Australian was trained at the Tasmanian School of Art and finds inspiration from her surrounding bushland and coastline whilst drawing the beautiful and symmetrical faces of models in magazines like Vogue. Smith who finds beauty 'fascinating' prefers to draw models because of their otherworldly beauty which she seems to transcend seamlessly onto paper with the use of pencils and watercolors. Smith describes her personal style to Clare Press as, 'little dresses and blouses', which is fitting for a nature motivated dreamer.
