I stubbornly continue to make "things" with a love of materials, a respect for good craftsmanship, a sense of playfulness and mystery, and a deep seated hope that they will interest someone else. -- Richard E. Smith

Artist's Statement
I was born in January, 1951, in Corning, New York. From an early age I loved to draw, to build models, to use my Dad's woodworking hand tools, and to play musical instruments. I have continued to do these things my entire life.
My father's ascending career involved moving our family fairly often. I attended 5 different schools before finishing high school. Returning to Buckhannon, West Virginia, a place we had lived while I was in grade school, I attended West Virginia Wesleyan College for two years. I then transferred to The Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore. At best I was always an unenthusiastic student and dropped out after a year and a half.
In the summer of 1976 I came to Provincetown as a scholarship student at The Provincetown Workshop. Leo Manso was the teacher there and he made a big impression on me. The beauty and history of Provincetown made it easy to want to stay at summer's end. I lived there for 18 years. During that time I lived and worked in some wonderful studios, and showed my work in various galleries in Provincetown and Wellfleet. I am pleased to say my work can be found in the permanent collections of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum and the Cape Cod Museum of Art.
In l994 after twice visiting friends in the San Francisco Bay area, I decided to move to California. Although I'm quite content here, in some sense Provincetown was and always will be 'home.'
I have worked a variety of full-time jobs most of my adult life, but always found time and space for creative activities. Drawing, painting, collage, assemblage, woodworking, and home improvement - I guess I'm a guy who makes stuff. Like many artists, I am most content when I am alone and working.
I stubbornly continue to make "things" with a love of materials, a respect for good craftsmanship, a sense of playfulness and mystery, and a deep seated hope that they will interest someone else.
