Chanel Lisa-Cavel Smith (b. 1995, Jamaica) is a visual artist based in Georgia. Her exegetical practice navigates abstraction, materiality, and symbol through painting, jewelry, and emblematic logo design.
Grounded in interpretation, each medium becomes a vessel for meaning, where gesture and material act as a language of exploration. Her paintings, often bold and gestural, are defined by confident brushstrokes and pools of pigment that carry both form and emotion, allowing the material itself to speak.
Beth Autumn functions as both name and spiritual architecture: “Beth,” the Hebrew word for house or dwelling, represents a space inspired by the presence of the Holy Spirit, where faith and creativity converge, and “Autumn” evokes transition, harvest, and transformation.
Her work draws deeply from the Bible and the spiritual formation inherent to the believer’s journey. She engages lessons learned and personal encounters with God, translating them into visual narratives that explore faith, growth, and the intimate ways the divine intersects with life. Some paintings are intentionally created with healing in mind, offering viewers a space to encounter Christ and connect with spiritual truths on a profound, contemplative level.
Within this context, the studio becomes a sacred site of making where stories are unearthed through process, reverence, and trust in the unseen, allowing each work to speak its own narrative.
