Born in Neptune, New Jersey, Wini Smart is a watercolorist and oil painter of marine and landscapes, many of them scenes of Maine, and her specialty is watercolors. She is also a muralist, bas-relief sculptor, and illustrator including "Early History of Toms River and Dover Township." She studied at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art, the Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia, and the Art Students League in New York. Smart lives half of the year in Maine and half in Florida. 〔(), ''Askart.com''〕 She has painted in beautiful places in Europe and along the eastern seaboard of the United States, but she continually returns to an island off the coast of Mount Desert, Maine, her "spiritual home." Here she renews her inspiration each year to capture the essence of this island, the spirit and feeling of the place. Listed in "Who's Who of American Artists and Who's Who of Women, Miss Smart has maintained two galleries, one in Northeast Harbor, Maine, for 40 years; another in Boca Grande, Florida, since 1980. Her interest in history has resulted in painting many historic murals, illustrating local histories, and she is co-founder of Cranberry House, a historical museum on Great Cranberry Island, Maine. She has illustrated and written many publications for the Historical Society to benefit the museum. Not ready to retire, Miss Smart continues an active life of traveling, painting, and overseeing the museum on her favorite island. Miss. Smart married Fred Quakenbush in June 2010. 〔Smart, Wini.
