Washington Museum Exhibits Elements Of Nature

National Museum Of Women In The Arts, Washington will run an exhibition named "Elements of Nature: Equines and Still Lifes by Clarice Smith" on view from October 9, 2009 to January 10, 2010.

Elements of Nature: Equines and Still Lifes by Clarice Smith features 20 paintings that exquisitely articulate Clarice Smith’s graceful vision of the natural world.

Embodying both the serenity and excitement of nature, her oeuvre includes floral still-lifes reminiscent of the 17th-century masters as well as exhilarating equestrian scenes. Inspired by Whistler, Manet, and Sargent, Smith’s paintings evoke a sense of wonder at the power, grace, and majestic elements of nature.

A native of Washington, D.C., Smith has painted professionally for over 35 years. She has hosted numerous solo exhibitions in prestigious galleries in the United States, London, Paris, Zurich, Maastricht and Jerusalem.
