About
Delaney Smith-Vaughn is a visual artist, designer and educator. She primarily works with handmade paper to create sculptures and explores text and typography. Her interactive books develop as the viewer alters the pages. As a result, each book is a unique story of marks based on unpredictable outcomes. Similarly, she alters common materials in her sculptures, such as tracing paper and receipts, creating rich landscapes with incidental textures.
Smith-Vaughn received a B.F.A. in graphic communications from the University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and an M.F.A. in Studio Art: Fibers from the University of North Texas, Denton, Texas. She was an artist-in-residence at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and teaches workshops at art centers such as Oil and Cotton, Penland School of Craft, and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. As a designer for Make Art with Purpose, she creates publications such as Let’s Talk, a zine series focused on increasing knowledge, understanding and empathy across communities through stories.
