About Casey's Art Box

Casey and Melissa Smith have deep roots in the southeastern Memphis area. Casey is a lifelong 901 native, and Melissa—who moved to the region in 1988—has called it home for decades. Since settling in Germantown in 2004, they’ve raised their two daughters and become familiar faces in local schools, arts events, and community gatherings.

After long and fulfilling careers as educators, Casey and Melissa have turned their focus toward the arts, blending creativity, teaching experience, and a genuine love for people. Through their studio and online platforms, they share their passion for art with the community they call home—and with art-loving audiences far beyond.

Casey Smith, born in Memphis and raised in Germantown, has been creating art his whole life. His early years began at Ronnie Grisanti & Sons restaurant where he shared his love of murals. He spent 20 years teaching art to kindergarteners through high school seniors. Now Casey is ready to share his works with you and hopes to encourage other artists to go after their passion. 

Melissa Smith moved to Germantown at the beginning of her high school career at GHS. Not one to be far from her family, she attended Memphis State, but ended up graduating from the University of Memphis! While there she met and married Casey, being his number one visual art & music fan and (most importantly) best friend. After 27 years in elementary technology education, she is ready to encourage others to unleash their creative energies.
