Kirkland Smith is a classical painter who follows the traditions
of the old masters by painting figures and still lives from models.
The subject in all her paintings is light—how it moves across the
objects she is painting, revealing shape, form, and texture.
Kirkland’s mother, who is also a professional artist, taught her
as a child.
She has recently become involved in creating contemporary
environmental artwork using non-recyclable materials and
post-consumer waste to make 3-Dimensional paintings. Through her
artwork, she hopes to give the message of the importance of
reducing, reusing, and recycling in a fun way. Kirkland received a
BA from the University of South Carolina and studied classical
painting in Southwest France. She continues to work and teach in
Columbia. She and her husband James have 4 children.
