"Salt Meets Soil: New Works by Mary Beth Smith"

*Where Salt Meets Soil*: New Works by Mary Beth Smith will be on exhibit in the Levy Gallery of the Buckman Arts Center at St. Mary’s School. Mary Beth is a Cleveland, Mississippi-based artist and native. She earned a Bachelor of Business Administration as well as Fine Arts degree from Delta State in 1999 and has taught junior and senior high school visual arts and ceramics for the last 19 years. Her primary body of work is abstracts, drawing on influences from nature and animals. “Art is my window of expression where I can stop thinking and create from feeling. Most of my inspiration is from the beauty found in familiar spaces, life experiences, colors, and forms found in my surroundings,” says Smith.

The Levy Gallery exhibit will run from November 6 to December 14, 2026.  A reception will celebrate the opening on Friday, November 6, 2026, 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Visit buckmanartscenter.com or call (901) 537-1483 for more information.
