I run. Making ceramics is kind of like that: I go out, breathe, and feel alive. Add some good pain and a little crazy, and you have working in clay. Initially, I chose ceramics because of its many processes. I liked the physicality, the schlepping, the variety. When I committed to clay I felt like I was making a second commitment to myself: that I would always be in shape. I wanted to be strong, my whole life.

is a studio artist living and working in Lincoln, NE. She is a recent recipient of the Lincoln Mayor's Arts Awards, specifically the Artistic Achievement Award - Visual Arts. She throws in porcelain to create forms that celebrate movement such as wind, running and a beating heart. Her soft, rhythmic work is often very calming. Smith received a BFA from Ohio University in Athens, OH and went on to pursue her MFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Look for a Both Artist and Mother Exhibition at Red Lodge Clay Center (MT) in October 2017.
