Annette Smart

Born in the UK, 1965.
I have lived and travelled all over the world, including 3 years spent in Kathmandu, Nepal; nearly 5 years in Lilongwe, Malawi, SE Africa. Being a nomad has been instrumental in not only the development of my art, but also my philosophy towards life.
My artworks are primarily paintings, and some printmaking. In 2016 I set up and helped to run an artist led Gallery in Lilongwe. I also organised Art Fairs in Malawi. I have participated in International Art Fairs and shows in Africa and the UK.
