Atlanta, Georgia native Durrell Smith is an artist, art teacher, bird dog handler/trainer, and podcast host. While creating compelling abstract assemblage pieces or india ink & watercolor illustrations based on his field experiences and hunting dogs, he also runs a podcast called “The Sporting Life Notebook”, along with his nonprofit, the Minority Outdoor Alliance, co-founded with his wife Ashley.
As a first-generation hunter, Durrell seeks to learn with and contribute to the active outdoor community by connecting with visionaries within the bird dog community who are willing to share stories and knowledge about the various breeds and practices, creating a bridge to welcome aspiring dog men and women to the bird dog community. We're proud to welcome him to the Benchmade family.
