Richard Zane Smith is an artist of Wyandot heritage. As a young man, Smith lived with the Navajo and was also exposed to Pueblo culture. Prehistoric Anasazi corrugated ware, in particular, caught his attention and inspired the technique that he uses in his pottery in which he layers very small coils of clay in order to create the corrugated-like texture.
