Peachtree Ridge High School alumni and siblings, Curtis Austin Smith and Kaiya Brianne Smith, have embarked on two new adventures that showcase their love for combining art and fashion. Curtis, a 2013 graduate, began his practical training in photography, drawing and other art mediums as a student at SCAD, before finding his niche in photography. His company, Void Space Productions, is an expression of art and life. He exhibits his beautiful photography on canvas and as prints at area art festivals. During the recent Peace, Love & Art in the Park Festival sponsored by the city of Suwanee, Curtis was presented with the prize of “Best Photography Booth” by the Mayor of Suwanee, Jimmy Burnett. Kaiya, a 2014 graduate, created Universe + Soul Couture, a “rolling” boutique that offers trendy fashions, accessories and shoes with the motto, “Bringing the Universe together… one Soul at a time.” Currently, Kaiya is rolling her boutique to area festivals and later intends to visit local colleges and high schools to give students a fun, new way to shop for clothing.
