Biography
Living close to woodlands in Leicestershire, Serena Smith's stone lithographs
explore an interplay between lived experience and reflective observation. Seen in many of the images, are
glimpses of this landscape as it changes from season to season. It
is the daily encounter with the local environment that continually feeds her
thinking, and shapes ideas that are explored in the studio. Technically complex
and painstaking to produce, the stone lithographs are printed by hand, often
from several stones, and individually coloured - the shapes of the lithographic stones can sometimes be seen in the final printed impression.
An internationally recognised artist-lithographer and elected associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. Smith has received several awards, and her stone lithographs and book works are held in a number of private and public collections including: Aberystwyth University, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich; British Library, London; British Museum, London; China Printmaking Museum, Shenzhen; Nottingham University, Ningbo, China; Books on Books Collection, UK; University of California Environmental Design Library; Winchester School of Art.
