REVIEW: Aline Smithson's advice is to take chances, embrace fear, be kind, grateful, and give back... TribeLA Magazine • Los Angeles #Tribelamag #Lenscratch #Alinesmithston #Arttoday #Laphotographers #Tribelamagazine

REVIEW: Aline Smithson's advice is to take chances, embrace fear, be kind, grateful, and give back...

Arrangement

TribeLA Magazine Acrostic Interview.4

Advice: What is the best advice you’ve received? What is the best advice you can give? Take chances. Embrace fear as a friend and learn to live with it. It’s what propels you forward. Be kind. The world gets richer when you open your heart. Be grateful. Acknowledge who helps you along your journey. Give Back. Reach out and pull the person behind you into the spotlight.

Aura: How would you describe your energy, style, etc.? I have a lot of energy. My husband would state that I’m a tireless worker and I have to admit, it’s true. I am always multi-tasking. I am a very open person and have a curiosity about everyone and everything around me. I think that everyone has a story and everyone has value. One of my greatest joys as a mother and educator is to have those around me rise up and feel whole.

My personal and home aesthetic is more Zen—I’m drawn to clean surfaces, mid century architecture and furniture, and I always wear black. I do, however, find myself drawn to the odd and quirky, so you can find taxidermy, mannequin parts, and things that are off kilter all through my house—elegant taxidermy, mind you, not in a hoarder-cat lady way. I do have a great sense of humor.

Here’s how to get in touch with Aline:
