Kathryn Smith studied painting and printmaking at the University of Maryland, receiving a BA in Fine Arts, with further studies at Maryland Institute of Art, University of Northern Colorado, Colorado State University, and University of Colorado, Boulder. In 1981, Ms. Smith returned to Provincetown to resume studies with her grandmother, Ferol Sibley Warthen, the renowned artist and a practitioner of the single block, multicolor print developed in Provincetown in 1916. Since 1981, Smith has continued to produce traditional white-line prints professionally. She has been a year-round resident of Provincetown since 1988, teaching at the Museum School since 1991 and at Provincetown International Art Institute (PIAI) from 1999-2002. She has lectured extensively on the history of the Provincetown print, teaching workshops in the U.S. and Japan. Ms. Smith's work is represented in museum and private collections nationally and internationally.
