Darrell Smith was born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma and is a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. He learned white-line woodblock printing at the Provincetown Art Association Museum (PAAM). Kathryn Lee Smith (no relation) was his first teacher, and she learned the technique from her grandmother Ferol Sibley Warthen, who learned from Blanche Lazzell. He also studied with Lisa Houck at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Smith's work has been shown in open and juried exhibitions at PAAM, the Art Wellesley art show, and at The Provincetown Commons. His first solo show was in April 2023 at the Provincetown Commons, with another solo show at the Wellesley Free Library in May 2024. In August 2022 he was featured in a show at the Julie Heller Gallery East in Provincetown. In 2020, one of his prints was selected by the jury for the 50th annual Cherokee Trail of Tears Art Show held in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. His work will be included in an exhibition of white-line woodblock printers in October 2025 at the Provincetown Commons.

He completed the Teaching Artist Development Program at PAAM in 2022.
