Clifford Smith is a contemporary realist painter best known for seascapes and landscape in which he seeks to, “parallel nature rather than imitate it,” creating works in which his images and their, “spatial compositions go beyond the perimeters of the picture frame.” His influences include Caravaggio and contemporary painters such as Rackstraw Downes, Frank Stella, and Gerhard Richter.

Smith was born in Passaic, New Jersey, in 1951. In 1973 he earned his Bachelor of Science at Southern Connecticut State College in New Haven, Connecticut, and his MFA degree in 1979 at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn. Since the late 1970s Smith has participated in various solo and group exhibitions, including recent solo show in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, and Exeter, New Hampshire, and group exhibitions in New York and Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Smith currently resides and works in New Hampshire. His work can be found in numerous public collections, including the American Stock Exchange, New York; New Hampshire Historical Society, Concord; and Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.
