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.
