Biography (adapted from the Johnson Collection, Spartanburg, SC): Charleston, South Carolina served as the birthplace, lifelong residence, and continuous source of inspiration for Alice Ravenel Huger Smith. Largely a self-taught artist, Smith was instrumental in the Charleston Renaissance along with friends Elizabeth O'Neill Verner, Alfred Hutty, and Anna Heyward Taylor. She served as a founding member of the Charleston Etchers Club and the Southern States Art League and was a part of the Historic Charleston Foundation, Carolina Art Association, and the Music and Poetry Society. Smith produced a body of work influenced by the lyricism of her associate Birge Harrison and other Tonalist landscape painters as well as the Japanese Ukiyo-e prints she studied and created. Smith's work is included in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the High Museum of Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and the de Young Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, among many others.
