Arizona's Pioneer Painter

Welcome to the Effie Anderson Smith Museum and Archive website, the virtual home of E. A. Smith's artistic legacy.  This website features memorabilia from our archive of the artist's papers, along with images of our growing collection of Effie's most iconic desert landscape paintings. Newly digitized images of her art works, period photos, documents and other emphemera are posted as they become available.

We are gathering details on paintings by Effie Anderson Smith (1869-1955) to be included in our forthcoming catalogue raisonné, so we're always interested to hear about any E. A. Smith (Mrs. A. Y.) paintings, photos, letters or other related items you own or have seen. Your comments and questions are invited.
