Two Spirit — The Art of Guinn Powell & Todd Smith


Dallas Public Library - Oak Lawn Branch

Two Spirit — Married couple combines their passion for life and art. An art exhibit featuring 22 works of Guinn Powell and Todd Smith.

Guinn's paintings are characterized by everyday themes seen through the eyes of an African American for whom recognition play an important role. His art reveals an opportunity to explore life in a small east Texas rural community through the eyes of his ancestors. His focus is on the multi-layered nature of art, aiming to depict the complications of life through a combination of color, texture, and symbolism.

Todd Smith is a driftwood artist living and working in Dallas, Texas. Using driftwood collected from local rivers and lakes he combines individual pieces of wood that "have something to say" with others to tell a bigger story. "The wood has had a life, that life is over and washed away. Now it gets a new life as art." This show features five large driftwood wall hangings and one table.
