Alix Smith graduated from The School of Visual Arts with a Masters in Photography
and Related Media in 2005. Smith is best known for her ability to create iconic images
that defy cliche. Her images have a theatrical and painter-like quality reminiscent of
great masters such as Vermeer, Manet and Sargent. Smith has been in solo
exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. She has been reviewed in
numerous publications some of which include The New York Times, Art Review,
Artnet, and TimeOut New York and The Advocate. Art Review Magazine listed her as
one of the best emerging photographers internationally in 2005. Smith shows with the
Morgan Lehman Gallery in New York City, and has received fiscal sponsorship from
The New York Foundation for the Arts, for her project States of Union. She lives and
works in New York.
