From the artist himself on the same bio sheet:
Marshall Smith knew from his earliest years that he wanted to be an artist. The seasons of his childhood were divided between the then-rural countryside around Miami, Florida, and the gently rolling farmland of southern Georgia. Those early scenes provided subject matter and inspiration for the mature artist, as well as for his younger self. Later travel and experience have had their effect as well. Few artists have led a less sedentary life: Smith served in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict; raced cars on the CAN-AM circuit; did salvage driving with Jack Slack; played bit parts for Ivan Tours films; and sold everything from shoes to sewing machines to baby grand pianos. During all those years, he continued to draw and paint, to exhibit and teach.
Marshall Smith is one of a group of painters whose work defies classification, for he is as equally at home with Impressionism and Abstraction, as he is with Realism. The artist's overall work is poetic in approach, sensitively conceived and speaks to the viewer. Currently he is involved in a series of realist paintings that reflect the landscapes which shaped his vision in early childhood. Yet his artist's eye is not clouded by nostalgia; he looks anew at familiar scenes and paints them in a clear light.
