Gillian Smith is a seasoned mixed media artist who discovered a passion for pottery during her 2024 Diploma in Visual Art. She blends her painter’s sensitivity with clay, merging surface, tone, and texture into sculptural vessels that evoke geological layering and the passage of time. Her hand-built ceramics, bridge painting and pottery, creating landscapes where her creative background and love for process unite. Gillian’s work forms a dialogue between colour, texture, and earth, echoing the expressive qualities of her paintings and quietly reflecting stories of the Australian landscape within each vessel.
