My name is Mary Victoria Smiley, but I have been "Torrie" my entire life and now sign and certify my work by just the one name.  I am orginially from West Texas, now living and painting in the foothills of North Carolina. 

I am primarily a self taught artist who paints using oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastel. I have become known for my different renditions of pears, ranging from realism to colorful impressionism.   I have won awards and became a Juried Artist with my Martini Series.

My paintings are now in collections and galleries throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.
