Serena Smith is an artist, educator, writer, and researcher, who explores the paradoxes of lived experience through the poetic realms of language and its material inscriptions.  At the core of her practice is an intellectual and material relationship with stone lithography that is grounded in the artisan environment of the printmaking workshop.  As one of a small field of internationally recognised lithographers, she spent her formative years as a collaborative lithographer at the Curwen Studio and the ecology of her practice today reflects this legacy. Alongside writing, studio practice, and research, she continues to teach workshops, and offer bespoke tuition and technical support in lithography.
