PROFILE
Gillian Smith
I am a qualified teacher with 28 years of experience. I have a B.A.(Hons) degree in Multidisciplinary Design from N. Staffs' University. In 1984, I was invited to attend a postgraduate course at the prestigious Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, where I completed my studies in 1986. My work was featured in the academy's degree show that year, leading to several exhibitions throughout the Netherlands and Europe. I also received a generous grant from the Dutch government to establish myself as a professional artist.
Since then, I have continued to create and exhibit my artwork regularly. Recent pieces are available for viewing and purchase at the "Kunst-Uitleen" (art-lending libraries) in Gouda, Hilversum, Leeuwarden, and Zwolle. My artistic journey continues to evolve, with each new work reflecting my passion for multidisciplinary design and creative expression.
