- History / Biographical
- Julia Payne Smith, from Paynes Mills, was an artist who taught at Alma, ca. 1900 to 1912. She and her husband William 'St. Thomas' Smith had met while at art college in Toronto together. They married in 1886 and moved to St. Thomas. In keeping with the importance of the Arts and Crafts movement in Canada in the years around 1900, in ca. 1900, the Alma College Art Department offered instruction in clay modeling, woodcarving and sculpture, taught by Julia Smith; her husband William taught classes in painting and sketching and served as the Director of the Art Department.
