Valerie Smith

Valerie Smith is a Bundjalung woman from the Widjabul people of Lismore, NSW. A dedicated mother and former teacher, Valerie found a new creative voice through painting after the devastating Lismore floods. Her art is a powerful expression of healing, resilience and hope.

Self-taught and inspired by her community and surroundings, Valerie uses vibrant colours and textured styles to tell stories of recovery and strength. Each piece reflects her journey and the enduring spirit of the Bundjalung people.

This collection invites you to connect with the beauty of Country and the human spirit through Valerie’s evocative artworks.
