Berry Smith was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He spent most of his boyhood on a rural Georgia farm. He, his identical twin brother and his younger brother exhibited phenomenal art ability as children. Talent seemed to be a genetic trait in his family line since his aunt was a gifted painter and musician. His teachers and parents were often amazed at the advanced aptitude he and his brothers displayed in realistic sketching and painting. Therefore, Berry ignored the norm and pursued his own art interests, resulting in the development of his unique style in wildlife, portraiture and landscapes.
