Art and Soul Gallery

The Art and Soul Gallery opened in May 2007, the web site is a work in progress.

The gallery has a very varied selection of work produced by myself and a selection of other artists, ranging from paintings, glass in various forms, metal, jewellery, photography through to textiles and ceramic sculpture.

I'm presently working on images of these pieces, and am adding them as time permits, so please come back and check the site regularly, even better would be to come and visit the gallery, I'd love to see you.

In the mean time here is a little bit of information about me.

Bev Smith

I am a west country artist working in two forms, figurative ceramic sculpture and landscape painting.

I studied applied art at Plymouth College of Art and Design as a mature student, graduating with a first class honours degree in 2003.

In my ceramic work I love to use the human form, as I am interested in expressing the human spirit, emotion and movement- hopefully with more than a touch of humour.

The beauty of using the human form is that it is something to which we can all relate, thus encouraging us to view the sculpture from the inside out. In so doing I hope to create an empathy or reaction to the work.

My paintings are of the places I love to be - mostly the sea. I consider myself to be a very lucky person living here in the west country and continually try to express this in my art.

I hope that you enjoy viewing my work as much as enjoy producing it.
