Smith is best known for her seascapes, and also works in landscape, still life, and portrait.
Smith is a Master Artist with the Copley Society, a member of the American Society of Marine Artists and the Salmagundi Club, and a signature member of the Pastel Society of America. She has exhibited in museums nationwide and won numerous top awards, including the IAPS Prix de Pastel and a place in the Pastel Journal’s Top 100 for the past six years. Her paintings can be found in several east coast galleries and in collections on five continents.
