Biography
Serena Smith is an internationally recognised artist-lithographer and elected associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, whose stone lithographs are held in a number of private and public collections including the British Museum and China Printmaking Museum. She has exhibited widely and been the recipient of several prizes and awards. Alongside her studio practice she supports other artists in her professional practice as a lithography mentor, teacher, and technical consultant.
Living close to woodlands in Leicestershire, her stone lithographs explore an interplay between lived experience and reflective observation that frequently makes reference to this environment. Seen in many of the images are glimpses of this particular landscape as it changes from season to season. It is the daily encounter with this local place 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.
More information and details of upcoming exhibitions are available on her website.
