About:
Whitney Lewis-Smith(born Ottawa, Canada) is an artist and educator living between Mexico City and Vancouver Island. She attended Concordia University’s studio arts program, focussing on drawing and sculpture, and completed her photographic education at The School of Photographic Arts, Ottawa. Whitney works primarily with 8×10 glass plate negatives to document her elaborate set constructions. Having previously spent time in scientific fieldwork, her staged scenes are layered with historic and cultural chronicles and materials amassed while in the field with research teams, from local healers and storytellers, to sources with The Museum of Natural History in Puebla Mexico and The Museum of Nature in Ottawa, Canada.
Collectors include: Global Affairs Canada, The Honourable Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s collection, SUMMA Art Fair Madrid, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Maison Simon’s collection, and the Ottawa City’s Public Art collection.
