Sally Smith

Sally Smith lives on Waiheke Island. She studied Architecture at Auckland University before running her own practice for many years on Waiheke. This background has informed her art practice which she chose to follow full-time in 2010.

Growing up on Waiheke she has seen the devastating loss to the Gulf’s natural environment with species becoming technically extinct in her lifetime alone. Many of her works seek to highlight this fragility and raise awareness of the need to protect it.

Working in bronze, cast glass and steel her works range from monumental public artworks, through to more delicate wall installations that have no boundaries – just like nature. She exhibits regularly both nationally and globally with representation in NZ, France and the USA. She has exhibited in several Sculpture on the Gulf events.
