Megan Smith, Assistant Professor of Art and Art Program Coordinator, received her MFA in Studio
Art with a concentration in Ceramics from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA
in 2016. Her post-baccalaureate work was done from 2010-2012 at Collin College in
Plano, TX. She received BFAs in Ceramics and Drawing & Painting from the University
of North Texas in Denton, TX in 2008.
Megan comes from a long line of artists and craftsmen. Woodworking, quilting, painting,
stained glass, and homemade clothing are her handcrafted family heirlooms. Her father
designed and built the first house in which she lived. She has long treasured the
value and wonder of the handmade.
As a ceramic artist, Megan’s work focuses on the complexities of connection and explores
how relationships are affected by humor and turmoil.
