Alice Ravenel Huger Smith (July 14, 1876 February 3, 1958) was an American painter. She was one of the leading figures in the so-called Charleston Renaissance, along with Elizabeth O'Neill Verner, Alfred Hutty, and Anna Heyward Taylor. Smith was a native of Charleston, South Carolina, and had been born into one of the most prominent and genteel families of the city. She received some basic training, early in her career, at the Carolina Art Association, but otherwise remained largely self-taught throughout her life. She traveled rarely, never going abroad, and hated change; she disliked the automobile intensely, and preferred to walk. She began her career as a portraitist, copying old family images and painting friends and relations; during this time she also painted fans and dance cards. In 1910 she began experimenting with woodblock printing and etching, seeing limited success in the latter field but much in the former due to her sense of color; even so she would teach etching during the 1920s, with Elizabeth O'Neill Verner becoming a notable pupil. After experimenting with oil paints and printmaking Smith eventually settled on watercolor as her preferred medium, in which she would work for the rest of her life. [2] Smith was also deeply involved in Charleston's artistic community; a founding member of the Charleston Etcher's Club and the Southern States Art League, she was also involved in the Historic Charleston Foundation, Carolina Art Association, and Music and Poetry Society.
