Mary T. Smith at SHRINE, NY

until July 28, 2019

In "I WE OUR", SHRINE presents works by Mary T. Smith (1904–1995).

Smith took an intuitive approach to making art and passionately painted self-portraits, as well as people and scenes from her daily life in rural Mississippi. Smith also portrayed biblical stories and characters. She began “making pictures” on found wood and corrugated-metal sheets in the late 1970s and during the last years of her life she created several hundred paintings.
