Beej Nierengarten-Smith

Beej Nierengarten-Smith’s work as a printmaker demonstrates her expertise in a variety of media, including photolithography, solar prints, etching, Japanese woodcuts and multimedia combinations. The artist does not print editions; rather, each print is hand-altered, and the result is unique with boxed artist books accompanying prints. She has received wide recognition for her crafted handmade books and book boxes, including Best of Show for Professional Artist Books at the 2005 New Mexico State Fair. Nierengarten-Smith holds a BA from the University of Minnesota in art history and design, an MA from the University of Minnesota in art history and museum sciences and an Ed. D. from Southern Illinois University in instructional theory and curriculum design with a minor in aesthetics. She has also received an honorary Doctor of Humanities from Maryville College in St. Louis in recognition of her contributions to the arts.
