Speedline
Artists Palette
|No 169
Meet a building tradesman and labourer who laid down his shovel and stone work tools two years ago to focus on his art … in an inspirational setting overlooking Blue Haven Bay on the Esperance coastline.
Geoff Smith, also known as ‘Speed’ and painting under the name of Speedline Art, spent his early years on his parents’ 4,000 acre farm – 70 miles inland from the town of Esperance on the Western Australia coast. His home town was a one-pub-post-office-and-wheat-silo-town called Grass Patch.
Finishing boarding school at the age of 16, Geoff returned to work on the farm. He travelled to the coast on weekends with a friend and discovered surfing, which has remained a major influence on his way of life throughout the past 36 years.
