See what painter Arvie Smith has been doing since his appearance on Art Beat 15 years ago.

When Art Beat first met painter Arvie Smith in 2001, he was using larger-than-life colors and shapes to make a statement about the past. Though a lot has changed for Smith in the 15 years since, his bright paintings still convey a powerful message of social justice.
