Nancy Train Smith began her career as a studio artist by attending Wellesley College where she earned a degree in art history in 1968 and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Upon graduation in 1978 she was honored with a Ruth A. Sturtivant Travelling Fellowship, for her work in sculpture and video. in 1980, she began work at the Clay Dragon ceramics cooperative in Cambridge, MA. For the next twelve years she worked in clay, exhibiting at various national and international venues. A move to Dartmouth, MA in 1991 and immersion in the beautiful and fragile landscape there provoked a dramatic shift away from clay and back to her first love of painting. Recently, she has been reintegrating ceramic work into her studio practice and using the years of landscape observation to develop a new line of work in clay.
