The narratives in Smith Corby's intricate paintings navigate through the muddied waters of traditional female imagery, carving-out a space for new ideas to grow. Smith Corby uses scale, color, and astute drawing skills to communicate her ideas, creating mignon environments delicately painted on found objects, fabric, canvas, and paper or transformed into large-scale wall installations. Interestingly, her found fabric napkins, doilies, and furniture are reminiscent of the familiar objects one carries through life, which have an energy of their own because of memories, and emotions from their past. Similarly, Smith Corby’s renderings on these ordinary objects transform them into magical goods. —Joanna Grasso, Independent curator	Education 2001 MFA in painting, Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, MA 1998 Chautauqua School of Art, Chautauqua, NY, July- August 1992-1993 Tyler School of Art—Rome Campus/ Temple University, Rome, Italy 1991-1995 BFA in painting, Tyler School of Art/ Temple University, Philadelphia, PA Exhibitions and Awards 2012 Self/Fabricated, The Art Complex Museum, Duxbury, MA 2010 Self/Fabricated, The Maynard Art Center, Maynard, MA Contemporary Painting, Grimshaw- Gudewicz Art Gallery, Bristol Community College, Fall River, MA 2009 Estate of Things, The Essex Art Center, Essex, MA "Economies of Scale," Miller Block Gallery, Boston, MA "Women’s Work…?," Grimshaw-Gudewicz Art Gallery, Bristol Community College, Fall River, MA 2008 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellow in Painting “Women of the Cloth,” The Art Gallery at Bunker Hill Community College, Boston, MA “Dress/Redress,” The Women’s Studies Research Center, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA “Solo Show,” Anderson Gallery, Bridgewater State College, Bridgewater, MA, September 2007 “Domestic Departures,” Cal State University Fullerton, Fullerton, CA, curated by Jackie Bunge & Joanna Grasso “It’s All Relative,” Babson College, Wellesley, MA, site-specific installation in Horn Library “Solo Show,” Sarah Doyle Gallery, Brown University, Providence, RI, March “Works on Paper,” Providence Art Club, Curator’s Choice/ Fidelity Purchase Award Providence, RI, March 18- April 6 “Victory for Tyler Alumni Exhibition Series: Painting 2007,” Ice Box Project Space, juried by Jenelle Porter, Associate Curator at the ICA, Philadelphia, PA, April 13-29 2006 “Recent Work,” Miller Block Gallery, Boston, MA, September 9- October 17 “Sweetness“, Sherman Gallery, Boston University, Boston, MA 2005 "ES PRESENTS!," Chelsea, MA 2004 “New England Currents,” Danforth Museum of Art, Framingham, MA “Me & Mine,” HallSpace Gallery, Boston, MA “The 18th Drawing Show,” Boston Center for the Arts (BCA), Boston, MA “Boston High Tea,” ARamonaStudio Gallery, New York, NY “American Artists in Hungary,” Visavaros Gallery, Budapest, Hungary 2003 “Wanting,” Miller Block Gallery “Volatile Bodies,” University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA “Not All Privates Salute,” HallSpace Gallery 2002 “150 x 150 Mad Dash,” The Gallery @ Greene Street, Jamaica Plain, MA “New Work,” (solo show) The Mazmanian Gallery, Framingham State College, Framingham, MA “Small Works 2002,” The Attleboro Museum, Attleboro, MA “Making a Mark,” Curated by Helen Shlien, Danforth Museum of Art 2001 “The Drawing Show,” BCA “The Drawing Show, Selected Works from the Boston Drawing Project,” The Bernard Toale Gallery, Boston, MA “150 x 150 Mad Dash,” The Gallery @ Greene Street “The Boston Drawing Project,” Curated by James Hull, The Bernard Toale Gallery “MFA Thesis Show,” Bakalar Gallery, Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, MA “His and Hers: New Drawings (with Steven Locke),” Patricia Doran Gallery, Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, MA “The Me in Femininity,” Artana Gallery, Saxonville, MA “Red,” Cambridge Art Association, Cambridge, MA 2000 “The Unknown Generation: X?,” Maine Artists Space, Portland, ME “65th Regional Exhibition of Art and Craft,” Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg, MA “Martha Stewart Doesn’t Live Here: Martyrdom & Transgression in 2000,” Bakalar Gallery, Massachusetts College of Art “Portraits of a Century,” Boston City Hall, Scollay Square Gallery, Boston, MA 1998 “There’s a Fine Line,” The Bridge Gallery, Colorado Springs, CO “One + One,” The Bridge Gallery “The Great Big Show,” The Bridge Gallery Professional Experience ^ Current position since 2007: Cushing-Martin Gallery Director, Stonehill College Visiting Artist/ Printmaking project series Bridgewater State College Visiting Lecturer Emmanuel College 2D Design Visiting Lecturer Massachusetts College of Art Boston Sketchbook Exhibitions Committee Member Co-curator with Barry Gaither for African Artist Show South Shore Art Center, Cohasset, MA 2006- 2003 Mazmanian Gallery Director Assistant Professor / Visiting Lecturer Framingham State College Image, Sound, and Structure, Painting I, Drawing I, 2-D Design, Narrative Painting, Watercolor 2008-2004 Visiting Artist: College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA Massachusetts College of Art Publications ^ 2007 Central Europe Through the Eye of International Artists, International Artists Residencies organized by the Hungarian Multicultural Center 10 year anniversary catalog Providence Art Club mounts a hip ‘Works on Paper’ by B.
