Roxanne Smith
email
Philosophy
While usually working with landscapes, in these images, Smith is exploring intimate spaces, through the subject of still life. This work is about finding beauty in what surrounds us everyday, things we may overlook because they are so very familiar.
Style
Smith works primarily in Black & White because it reveals the most elemental; forms, texture and light.
Technique
Smith works intuitively, responding to the subject.
Background
Smith received her BFA from Mount Allison University with a major in photography, studying under Thaddeus Holownia. She has been a member of CARFAC and VANS since 1985 and ViewPoint Gallery since 2004. She lives and works in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Her art work is in the collection of the Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery, The Nova Scotia Art Bank, The Canada Council Art Bank, and several private collections in Canada and the USA. She has exhibited her art work in solo and group exhibitions in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Toronto.
