Explore a selection of recent paintings, detailed ink drawings and mixed-media works by Terri Smith, a contemporary Irish artist based in County Galway.

​

Terri’s work is shaped by close observation and an interest in nature, folklore, anatomy and forensic traces. Her subjects often include the overlooked, damaged, hidden or left behind: birds, insects, fungi, biological systems, abandoned objects and evidence of lives that have passed through a place.
