Emily Mae Smith offers a look inside her studio as she prepares new works for her exhibition “Transit of Venus,” which opened September 17, 2026, at Petzel. In this glimpse into her process, Smith reflects on how connection to the natural world shapes her approach to painting in an increasingly detached present.
