Selling Sunset alum Amanza Smith reveals what led to her artistic awakening

The Selling Sunset alum has revealed that she has always been very creative in the arts since she was very young.

"I’ve always been very crafty, the DIY girl, doing things with my hands. But I didn’t have a lot of money growing up so I got really creative with trying to make anything look beautiful out of little means."

In an interview with Majorca Daily Bulletin, Amanza Smith recalled how one incident led to her artistic awakening, which eventually led to her newfound passion. 

"A couple of summers ago, I was given between 24 and 48 hours to live at one point, and I started painting because I really couldn’t do much else. I was pretty handicapped and could only use my right arm, so I began to paint and I found it really therapeutic. Then somebody discovered me on Instagram."

"She asked me to be part of an exhibition in Los Angeles and I was one of about 14 artists in the exhibition. I sold my first painting for 18,000 dollars and I thought that I’d made it; that was a year ago February."
