    Rachel Smith is an artist, storyteller and educator.

    She comes from a rural farming community where life had a very different focus than what she has lived iun the past 20 years as an immigrant to Hong Kong.

    In her studio in Sham Shui Po, Smith works with paper, fabric and watercolour. Inspired by her love and occasional despair of the city she lives and works in, the scenes outside her studio window push her art in directions that are at turns comforting and alarming. Smith seeks to express in simple forms.

    As time passes and the city rapidly changes further Smith waits with her scissors and brushes to see what will emerge slicing away, leaving room for light and movement.

    In response to the lack of face to face classes during the time of Covid, the HK Mail Art Club came into being - a weekly mail out of DIY art kits to do at home. The kits invite you to assemble, colour and construct paper based figures, while learning about the natural world.

    When not at the studio, I am podcasting, storytelling and organising Hong Kong Stories, directiing the Hong kong Spoken Word Festival, or taking miniaturised versions of real people on adventures with Tiny Trekkers Travel Agency.
