Anita Miller Smith
Anita M. Smith (full name Anita Miller Smith, October 20, 1893 – 1968) was an impressionist and regionalist painter most closely associated with Woodstock, New York. In the 1930s Smith became an herbalist, and her venture, Stonecrop Gardens, was one of only five enterprises of like size in the Northeast, serving clients in every one of the 48 contiguous states.〔Browning, Betty, "Garden Hobby Grows to One Now of Business Importance," ''Sunday Press'', Kingston, NY (1940), 1, 2.〕 During this phase of her career, she authored and published ''As True as the Barnacle Tree'', a short herbal based on ancient and contemporary practices. In the 1950s she wrote the town of Woodstock's first history, ''Woodstock History and Hearsay''.
==Upbringing==
Smith's paternal ancestor, Giles Knight, arrived in the American colonies aboard ''The Welcome'' with William Penn in 1682. Knight, a Quaker and former English landowner, established a farm in the Byberry region of Pennsylvania. One of Knight's descendants, Henry Cavalier Smith, an attorney-at-law, married Lucy Pancoast Miller. The couple assumed control of Wyndlawn, the Smith country estate in Torresdale, Pennsylvania. This was where Anita M. Smith was born on October 20, 1893, the youngest of five children.
In 1910 Smith and her mother embarked on a tour of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Smith also took instruction at the Académie Julian in Paris, the art studios of Ferruccio Scattola in Venice, the atelier Forcello in Cairo, and the British Academy in Rome. Each day was divided between morning art instruction and afternoon tours of such museums as the Louvre in Paris, the Palace of the Doges in Venice, and ancient cathedrals including St. Sophia's in Constantinople.
