Curator of Awards - Dr. Mary Ruth Smith
“Ideas for Imagery can come from anywhere and anythIng.”
This quote from Dr. Mary Ruth Smith will guide her as
she curates the awards for Oklahoma Friendly. Her varied
professional background, both as an artist and an art
educator, and her commitment to stay informed of current
art trends while blending in traditional elements of design
make Dr. Mary Ruth Smith an outstanding curator.
Born and raised in Virginia, Dr. Smith joined the Baylor Art
Department faculty in 1993, bringing with her the maturity
of a long teaching career in two fields of higher education. At Baylor, she has created a studio concentration in fabric
surface design. She has taught workshops, exhibited and
curated shows nationally and internationally.
Over the past thirty years her artwork has been exhibited
extensively throughout the United States and in Canada, England, France, Italy, Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Romania, Venezuela and Ukraine.
PhD, Florida State University • MFA, University of Georgia
