Practice & background
Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Smith studied visual arts at Sheridan College and integrated media, drawing and painting at OCAD University. Her practice moves between painting, moving image, installation and music.
Her portfolio includes the Teapot, Patchwork and Fragmented Portrait series. In the interview, she explains how layered paintings incorporate embroidery and extend onto the wall, allowing material and space to become part of the image.
Her collaborations include a performance installation with Amanda Smith for Tafelmusik’s Haus Musik series. She also managed ArtWalk for Toronto Downtown West BIA, a public-space project using augmented reality and audio tours.
