Meredith Smith

Meredith Smith is an American artist from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She received a Bachelor of Art from Humboldt State University (HSU) in 2016 and did a year there in the Extended Education Honors Program in 2017. Smith is finished an Artist Residency at Belger Crane Yard Studios in Kansas City, Missouri before starting an MFA program at the University of Kansas in 2023. 

Smith makes work that explores interpersonal relationships, self-growth, and the complexity of people’s lives and histories. By overlapping layers of imagery in and on her ceramic pieces, Smith portrays the profound capacity of the human form.

 She is the recipient of individual artist grants from the Ingrid Nickelson Trust and the Humboldt Arts Council, a Windgate Fellowship nominee, and a recipient of the President's Purchase Award from HSU. She has worked as a studio assistant in California, Colorado, and New York, including the Sugar Maples Center for the Arts, and as the Ceramics Technician at HSU. Her work is featured in both juried and invitational shows in galleries around the nation.
