Scotland-born artist Gillian Lee Smith explores the lost and found, connection and heritage and the past and how it has shaped us.

Gillian’s current work, The Lost and the Left Behind, explores connections and memories that are accumulated, embellished, diminished, and sometimes lost and even rediscovered over time. While the work represents and honours our collective heritage, ancestors, and those who have come before us, we are also invited to view ourselves with the same curiosity and reverence as those we hold dear. What if we were to create/recreate or even imagine familiar stories and celebrate our uniqueness, to connect with ourselves, our memories, and our human experience?
