ARTIST BIO
Cheryl Wilson-Smith has lived all her life in Canada’s North, working and raising her family in Red Lake. Beginning as a painter and ceramic artist, she works in glass art exploring the passage of time and her sense of place in the vast world around us. Drawing from her isolated life, residencies around the world and travels she has created a unique image. By manipulating the physical characteristics of powdered glass, she is able to achieve forms that resemble familiar land formations.
She began exhibiting in 2007, receiving national and international attention. Her work has been in numerous exhibitions and a recent solo installation at galleries throughout North America and in the U.K.
Like most Canadians she deals with landscape, but landscapes remembered across generations, those affecting us and those we impact. Cheryl is interested in remembrances that shape an individual’s art and design ideas. Her sculptures serve as receptacles for memory and time while exploring the tensions presented as we try to walk responsibly in this world and contemplate the extent to which we all alter the landscape, for better and worse.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My art explores the passage of time and my sense of insignificance in the vast natural world around us.
Living in the far north, on the granite and gold of the Canadian Shield and surrounded by Boreal Forest, I explore the formations, which resonate within my soul. Through the delicate layering of my work I also have the opportunity to explore genetic memory and the evanescence of life.
My sculptures, the gossamer fine yet intrinsically strong structures become an active receptacle for interpretations of time and lasting memory.
A place for quiet contemplation.
