Mary Tillman Smith
Mary Tillman Smith (1904-1995) was a self-taught painter. Her work is shown throughout the world and collected by museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. She lived and worked in Mississippi most of her life. She is considered an outsider artist.
==Life==
Smith was the daughter of sharecroppers. Smith was the third of thirteen children and at an early age had a serious hearing impairment. She completed a fifth-grade education, despite the isolation and loneliness her handicap caused her. Throughout her childhood, Smith "found an outlet in drawing."〔
Smith married twice, once in a short marriage to Gus Williams〔 in 1922 and then to John Smith sometime in the 1930s.〔 Her second marriage was also short, ending when Smith saw that her tenant-farmer husband's year-end settlement was grossly short.〔〔 Her complaints about the mistake, a more than $1,000 difference, led to John Smith "sending her away."〔 Smith then moved to Hazelhurst, Mississippi, to live on her own. In 1941, she gave birth to her son, Sheridan L. Major, though she did not marry his father.〔 Smith worked as a gardener and did other domestic work until she retired in the 1970s.
In 1985, Smith suffered a stroke that left her speech and writing impaired. She was slowed down to producing only two works a day after her stroke.〔 Her work output slowed, Smith made less money as time went on, and she stopped painting in 1991. She died penniless in 1995.〔
